Pardon me for commenting on a story that is five days old, but I've been on vacation and have one burning question: Am I the only one who wants to know what this asshole Nick Berg was really doing in Iraq before he got his head lopped off?
Let's follow his alleged story for a second.
He says he was in Iraq as a "private contractor" to rebuild telecommunications infrastructure. Right. "The government contracts for telecommunications services in Iraq go to….Halliburton, Nextel, Lockheed-Martin…..

and Nick Berg". My bullshit alarm is ringing softly.

Furthermore, the government has vehemently denied that he was in fact doing any official CPA (Coalition Provisional Authority, the body that is governing Iraq right now) business there. The State Department, on numerous occasions, extended offers to Berg for a flight out of the country and in fact detained him on multiple occasions to inquire about his activities there. The alarm is starting to crescendo.
Lastly, it is absolutely impossible for an American citizen to LEGALLY enter Iraq right now unless they are a contractor, according to the State Department consular information. Since the government has not disputed the fact that they were aware of Berg's entry into the country, a question becomes clear: why was he allowed entry if he was not affiliated with any official entity? Are we to believe that anyone who feels like being a handyman will be allowed in Iraq to wander about testing phone lines?
Anytime someone feels like explaining what he was REALLY doing there – covert ops, running guns, trying to join the Hezbollah, etc – I would love to hear it.

I don't think it is illegal for a U.S. civilian to travel to Iraq. It is simply not encouraged.
Has anyone else read anything about the video decapitation being a fake? I read one article about it last week but now I can't find it, and no one else has written anything about it.
Here's a link to another article about what N.B. was doing in Iraq: http://www.enterstageright.com/archive/articles/0504/0504berg.htm

Amy — Yeah, I've heard rumblings about it, too. I did a little sleuthing, and apparently Fox News (everyone's favorite news source) had a story about it on the 13th.

There are lots of other sites talking strange details and coincidences related to Berg and the video. (I had trouble finding them using "Nick Berg Fake" as search terms — but "Nick Berg AND Fake" got a lot of results….)
In fairness, I don't claim to know what he was doing there. But I also sure as hell don't know any right-minded individual who would've thought Iraq was a good place for an American civilian to wander around alone.
Valerie says:
Also, here's CNN's story about the weird connection between Berg and Zacarias Moussaoui, the admitted al Qaeda member now in U.S. custody and suspected of aiming to hijack an additional plane for a 9/11-style attack on the White House.

Ed says:
According to the State Department, any American wishing to enter Iraq must get permission from the CPA after a personal interview. From their comments on this situation, for which I am trying to find a link, they only admitted Berg because he lied and said he was doing contract work, implying that even though the letter of the law has changed they are still basically admitting only contracted workers or security personnel.
