Did FReeoers Kill Nick Berg?

Did Freepers Kill Nick Berg?
Why We're Not Ruling It Out
By Tamara Baker

May 12, 2004 -- SAINT PAUL, MINNESOTA (apj.us) -- By now, we've all heard the story.

A group claiming affiliation with Al Qaeda captured an American named Nick Berg, who had been looking for contract work in Iraq.

They then videotaped his beheading, claiming that it was revenge for the sickening torture of Iraqis at Abu Ghraib and other US-run prisons.

As it turns out, our military intelligence officers in Iraq have told the Red Cross that between 70 and 90 percent of the persons in Iraqi jails were arrested "by mistake", and so are being tortured "by mistake".

1. Wow, interesting

This whole scenario is bizarre in a lot of ways. I don't understand how his father being on that list could realistically translate to his being killed in Iraq, but I wouldn't rule anything out at this point, either...
