| FBI Interviewed Berg on Possible Moussaoui Link (Nick, not the peacenik dad) |
| 2004-05-13 |
| This story is just about to peg the weird-shit-o-meter Nicholas Berg, the American businessman executed by Islamic extremists in Iraq, may have had contact with accused Sept. 11 conspirator Zacarias Moussaoui. 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. DU RoPe-dopers are fired up over various theories that pro-war Nick was a CIA plant who used his family’s fifth column credentials to embed himself with AQ but got caught. There are many variations. How clever of the CIA masterminds to send a white Jewish guy into darkest Muslim Iraq under his own name, with an Israeli stamp on his passport, to infiltrate a gang that automatically kills every Jew they get their hands on. Sources close to the situation told Fox News that they believed the link to be "coincidental." On Tuesday, a video surfaced on an Islamic Web site that showed Berg kneeling in front of five men who had their faces covered. After blasting the U.S. government for the prison abuse scandal at Iraq’s Abu Ghraib prison, one man takes a long knife and decapitates Berg. If they’d put Charlotte Raven’s panties over his head, instead of cutting it off, the Arab street would no doubt be seething with rage (So would I, come to think of it). Speaking of Raven, remember Britain’s "vagina bomber," the female terrorist who was allegedly trying to sneak a bomb onto a plane in an area usually not searched? I remarked that we were lucky it wasn’t Raven, she could be packing a MOAB and nobody would know it. Intelligence officials said Thursday that terror leader Abu Musab al-Zarqawi was most likely the man who beheaded Berg. The disclosure later Thursday that Berg may have had contact with Moussaoui deepened the mystery of the businessman’s plight. Berg attended the University of Oklahoma and Moussaoui first settled in Norman, Okla., when he came to the United States. The accused co-conspirator used at least one of the university’s computers to communicate online, according to the sources. Sources said that the FBI concluded that Berg had innocently given his e-mail account to someone and it had landed in the hands of other people, including Moussaoui. The federal government has vowed to seek Moussaoui’s execution if he’s convicted of participating in a terrorism conspiracy, along with the Sept. 11 hijackers. Moussaoui’s lawyers are seeking to rule out the death penalty. (The Fox News page is loading very slowly, powered no doubt by second-hand SUV batteries scavenged from Karl Rove’s dumpster. DU is worse, their server is plugged in to 12 volt organic solar cells hung from the roof of the unabomber’s Outhouse.) |

| #7 I am not an expert, but I think the CIA prefers to use indigents to do the infiltrating, at least that is what I would do. You gotta wonder what in the world would Mossad get out of infiltrating Al Qaeda? Limited budgets to me would mean the greatest threat comes from Iran and Hizbollah is the preferred organization you would want to infiltrate. Much higher probability of gaining intel you can use. |

| #4 Unfortunately, all of this weirdness distracts from our enemies' monstrosity. If the story becomes a bizarre, convoluted, conspiracy story it has less impact than the story of an innocent American having his head sawed off for no reason other than he was an America. Whatever facts turn up, the most important one to take away is that our enemies have wet dreams about cutting off our heads with a knife. Tangent. Does anybody else wonder whether Zarqawi was trying to prove his street cred by doing the wet work himself, especially since whatsisname (damnit! brain freeze) apparently beheaded Danny Pearl personally? |

| #2 I was thinking before this got posted that the facts fit a theory that Berg was an aspiring AQ operative, who decided the propects for advancement were better in Iraq. Unfortunately for him, AQ decided he was worth more as dead American Jew. I don't buy he was a CIA or Mossad plant, far too inept for that. His profile seems to fit a Lefty idealist who happened to be a Jew. |

| #1 "This story is just about to peg the weird-shit-o-meter." No sh*t! I know there are coincidences in the world, but what are the chances?!? I'm really beginning to think that maybe Berg was a Mossad or somebody's spy! |
