From post #30 in the above thread:

First, note that it's a lot more common (and simpler) for your business partner to be involved in planning your death than it is for some unknown cop who works in Mosul to tip off a terrorist mastermind about the details of your daily life hundreds of miles away in Baghdad. Second, note that Aziz claims he was the last one to talk to Berg alive. This is generally the place to begin any serious homicide investigation. Third, Aziz had far less ambiguous means (his mafia connections), motive (to get a lucrative seat at Iraq's interim government table) and opportunity (he'd already gained Berg's full trust) to off Berg than any putative terrorist mastermind, with or without any putative terrorist spy planted among the Mosul Iraqi police. Finally, the actual video file that was posted fits much better with an amateur dress up "beheading" than it does with an actual ruthless, real time beheading performed by actual radical Islamic fundamentalists.

You do realize, don't you, that many more victims are killed by people they know who try to make the crime look like the work of unknown assailants than actually get killed by unknown assailants?
