Most should be able to agree that this is very tragic but Berg did NOT have to be there. Does that mean he should die NO. But he was aware of the risks. He was in a war zone as an unregistered contractor. Tons of risk for the money I would think.
Supposedly he was given the chance to leave as well yet declined. Reported from many sources.

The U.S. government warned Nicholas Berg to leave Iraq and offered him a flight out of the country, a month before his grisly beheading was broadcast on an Al Qaeda-linked Web site.

He was either desparate to land a job or was making some serious money but he took the chances on his own.
