Wtf? Nick Berg was an Al Qaeda operative?
 

Don't know how many of you saw the CBS Evening news tonite (and it might have been on abc & nbc as well), but CBS did some STRONG hinting that Nick Berg was MORE than just an "innocent civilian" in Iraq.


First they brought out information that somehow the dude they captured in Minnesota known as the "20th hijacker" had access to some files/sites on the internet because he had Nick Berg's password!

And..what do you think the FBI was questioning him about when he was in custody in Iraq? Yep..that very fact!! The FBI supposedly said they let him go because it was JUST a coincidence about the password.

They hold him for 4 days or whatever it was and say it was no big deal then?

And while they didn't say it..there was a strong (or I was reading a lot into it) suggestion by CBS that POSSIBLY Berg was an Al Qaeda operative. And hmm..if he was, and they grabbed him because they were afraid he may have spilled some beans to the FBI about Al Qaeda? So then you off him on video and use him to "get back" at the abuse by Americans of Iraqi prisoners.

Kill two birds with one blade..literally?

Anyone else find this even faintly possible/resonable?

Weird story is weirder.

How many conspiracy theories are there about that video?

This one sounds interesting though...

he let a terrorist use his computer, not a very smart move.

"When Nicholas Berg took an Oklahoma bus to a remote college campus a few years ago, the American recently beheaded by terrorists allowed a man with terrorist connections to use his laptop computer, according to his father."

http://www.cnn.com/2004/US/Northeast...erg.encounter/

not really, the guy was killed to deflect people form the torture scandal

I could see that.

this whole situation is WAY fishy

Yeah..that's basically what CBS said. But, that link had one additional piece of information that CBS didn't broadcast:

"FBI agents interviewed Berg a few years ago when they were investigating the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks on New York and Washington, sources said. He was interviewed because, unbeknownst to him, Moussaoui had used his e-mail account when he was in Oklahoma."

So if the FBI had ALREADY interviewed Berg years ago, why the fuck would they detain him AGAIN in Iraq to go over the same crap?

They were on the SAME bus together and he let him use his laptop?!?

Guess I had better read the link first! :)

There are a dozen conspiracy theories already, and there'll be more. They can't all be true.

Unfortunately, it's been shown that the goverment / military certainly had reason to believe that his death would support their cause in a lot of ways. It's not that hard to believe that it's more than was first reported. :winkwink:

Another twist?

buried in the middle of http://www.usatoday.com/news/world/i...raq-berg_x.htm

Ah..it was an acquaintence..

"Government sources told CNN that the encounter involved an acquaintance of Zacarias Moussaoui"

I knew something wasn't right the first time. :(

I was just going to post something about that.

How many times is the government LIE/twist the truth here about whether or not he was in U.S. custody?

First he was (according to sources in Iraq) backed up by his father.
Then the U.S. denied it..only the Iraqi police (like THEY would know what to do with him)

And now there's TACID admission that YES, the FBI did indeed have him incarcerated and questioned him.

Frigging MOFO liars!

Yep, Wag the Dog!

the chances of the 2 of them meeting is 5 billion times 5 billion

everyone has a conspiracy theory, but no one has proof of anything :helpme

This is how they clean up....rumors start getting out that the FBI/CIA were involved in his killing, next thing rumors start coming out about him being involved in Al Qaeda.

Easier for people to let go of what happened to him and stop asking questions, if they think he's one of them.

pain in the ass commented on this in another thread:

I'm not being a conspiracy nut, but there is for sure much more than meets the eye with this. I mean first it's said he was in US custody then the US denies that. The family then comes up with proof and releases that today. Then add in the fact if he was in US custody why was he released and he didn't contact his family right away. I mean this guy had no contact with his family for a few weeks, and he didn't contact them when he was released? It's like he was captured by the guys that killed him as soon as he was released.

Now to top it off with this whole terrorist e-mail thing. I could blow off one or even two of these, but what are the odds that all this would happen to the same guy?

yeah! and the bottom line! the family of victim suffer most

OMG I'm now fearing what's gonna happen next

Who really knows?? If he was some how connected, the saying, "You play with fire your gonna get burned" comes to mind. Those people are never to be trusted.

Why some of you people think, or would like to think, Americans did it is just :Hollering

I posted in another thread..... but it is relevent here

More fuel for the fire

who knows what's going on? All I can tell you for sure is that nothing is what it seems in a warzone.
Nevertheless, an Al-Qaeda operative getting beheaded by his own? I find that rather unlikely and on top of that, the guy is Jewish. I mean come on, what are the odds he's an Al-Qaeda operative?

So far the list of players include Al-Qaeda, CIA, Mossad, F.B.I, Rumsfeld, etc. pick one - stick to it?

You know when terrorists kill someone, and people start blaming government agencies for his murder, instead of where it belongs - with the terrorists, you pretty much know they've won.

Al-Qaeda loves America really, let's welcome them with Teddybears and hugs.

That's what Nick Berg's father thought, too.

" when there is smoke, there is fire"

The strangest part about this whole ordeal, that no matter what story end up settling on...we'll never know everything that really went on.

<I>The 26-year-old from suburban Philadelphia liked to move around so much that he took classes at four universities, and once traveled to Africa to help a village, returning with only the clothes on his back. </I>

A humanitarian who was brutally murdered, having his name dragged through the mud as being a possible terrorist, can't you just let him rest in peace?

<b>Shame.</b>

Just another "curve" here. His father had said that Berg wanted to go home, but got held by the military which his father was upset about as he would have been out of the country before he actually got captured.

Then TODAY, the FBI says they offered him a FREE ride out, and he turned it down!

He's broke, wants desperately to go home, and supposedly said he turned down the plane home because he thought the trip to the the airport was too dangerous. HUH?

No! When his over the hill hippie father blames bush he can go pound salt. So far he has told 3 different stories.
Follow the money.

:Graucho

damn, unreal

They interviewd a friend of his in Bagdad, a journalist, that said that he was not offered a return ticket. That journalist said that he would of jumped on the offer....

To Xenophobic: Why is it that facts are slowingly trickling to the surface. Why hasn;t the administration came out with the full story in one shot???

Cover-up? Remember the call to CBS to get them NOT TO AIR the prison pics...

When lashing out random hate at christians or the government if you need a little pick me up just

Hmmm...got a link for that one? Thanks!

Wtf was Nick Berg doing in iraq alone the press is trying to get
answers for.

Nick Berg's dad was on TV [today] speaking to the press for the
first time since the incident occurred. He says he blames Bush,
Rumsfeld, and al-quaeda. He went on about all his son was doing
was helping the iraqi people and that if the iraqis knew they killed
a friend and not an enemy they would be regretful.

How is an American going to be in iraq not part of the military and
not part of any company hired by iraq nor America to part of the
rebuild?

There is a big stinky fish somewhere in all of this.

Maybe he was just a J-freak trying to be all Jesus-buddy and
that's all there is to that. I's be interested to know if his
family is into some weird out-of-the-main-stream J-freak sect.

:helpme

He was Jewish so I doubt it.

It's been what, 48 hours? - impatient much?


I saw somewhere his sister (deceased) was married to an Iraqi, and he had met him in Iraq.
