Death Of Nick Berg

(Warning: Parts of the following discussion contain rather sickening
references.)
Arab linguists have said the man posing as the Jordanian Zaraqawi did not
speak with a Jordanian dialect. Others have suggested the man reading the
written statement may not have been a native speaker of Arabic.
Zaraqawi was missing one leg and had been outfitted with an artificial leg that
did not fit or function properly. He was unable to walk or stand normally with
his ill-fitting limb. No man in the group showed evidence of such an infirmity.
Numerous indigenous sources have said Zaraqawi was killed by a US helicopter
attack months ago when he was unable to move quickly enough to escape the
targeted house. While others managed to exit the house in time to survive, he
died in the collapsed building.
As any surgeon will testify, the alleged beheading was a fake. A beheading
would result in a tremendous amount of spurting blood. There would have been
blood everywhere had an actual beheading taken place. When the executioner
holds up Berg's head immediately following what is represented as an actual
decapitation of a living person, there is no significant blood flow from the neck
or blood splatters showing anywhere on the executioner. Furthermore, the cut
was simply too neat to have been done crudely and with such amazing speed
by a man wielding a knife. Anybody who has ever carved a turkey knows there
is something wrong with the supposed beheading. The suspended head looks
more like Berg had been neatly beheaded by a guillotine.
The orange jumpsuit was standard US military issue to men in custody. It is
unlikely Berg would have continuing wearing a US custodial uniform if he had
been released by the military as they claim. The fact he was still wearing the
suit is both anomalous and suggestive. One is forced to speculate as to
whether there was an immediate transfer of Berg from the US military to
unknown persons, thusly preventing Berg from discarding his US prison garb.
Several of the men in the film were fat by Iraqi standards. If they were
Feyadeen or mujahadeen, they probably have been living underground since
the first days of the occupation. Tens of thousands of Iraqis have been shown
on news stories as they have marched and demonstrated. One would be hard
pressed to point out a single fat man among these thousands.
Some men had what can only be described as pasty-white hands. Once again,
one would be hard pressed to find Arab men with pasty-white hands.
The lack of spurting blood suggests Berg was already dead at the time of the
alleged decapitation. It is possible Berg's dead body was displayed with his
head already partially or totally severed. In any case, he almost certainly was
killed before the staged beheading. If so, it suggests the captors had no
stomach for an actual beheading of a living person, and they opted to fulfill
their assignment quietly and with the least amount of gore.
The scream that is heard has been interpreted as a woman's scream by many
viewers. Videotape cognoscenti have further said the scream was amateurishly
added to the tape.
The U.S. government translation of one statement made on the film is: "Does al
Qaeda need any further excuses?" This is a falsification. The actual statement
urged fellow insurgents to get off their hind ends and do something. One
assumes the translator being used by the US military is a native speaker of
Arabic, so this cannot be explained as an innocent flub. This suggests the US
government wanted to inject an alleged al- Qaeda group into the murder of
Nick Berg.
Iraqis who have seen the videotape on Arabic news broadcasts are universally
saying the men in the film are not Iraqis. Are they saying this partly because
the speaker does not employ an Iraqi dialect? Where does their certainty
come from?
Firearms experts have stated the AK-47 carried by one man was a "Gilal." This
actually is an Israeli-made weapon that improves on the famous AK- 47.
Feyadeen and other insurgents almost universally use AK-47s.
The man in the videotape who is purported to be Zarqawi is wearing a gold
ring. This is absolutely proscribed by Islamic law.
The US military has stated that Berg was never in US custody and that he had
been in custody of the Iraqi police. The Iraqi police adamantly deny he was
ever in their custody. On April 1, an e-mail from Beth A. Payne, the U.S. consular
officer in Iraq, was sent to the family of Nick Berg. It stated that Ms. Payne had
located Nick, and he was currently in custody of the US military. We have to
conclude that either the email was bogus or the US military has been lying.
The chair that Berg was seated in during the filming was a standard issue
military chair of the exact same kind as seen in a color photo taken at the Abu
Ghraib Prison. The chances a terrorist cell would be using this same chair are
minimal at best.
