The FBI offered Berg safe passage out of Iraq and they offered to...

...advise his family of his status, but he turned them down? I do not believe it. That stinks--especially the part about notifying his family.

Senor said FBI officials met with Berg while he was in the custody of Iraqi police in Mosul. But he said Berg was never in U.S. custody and that decisions about his detention and release were up to the Iraqi police.

The FBI "met with him on three occasions and made their own determination that he was not suspected of being involved in any criminal or terrorist activities. But he was at no time under the jurisdiction or within the detention of coalition forces," Senor said.

The FBI issued a statement Wednesday saying that the Coalition Provisional Authority offered to give Berg "safe passage" out of Iraq, but he refused.

"He also refused government offers to advise his family and friends of his status," the FBI statement said.

FBI doing there...why are we spending our dollars like that...I am repulsed.

It is so damn confusing to figure out who is who and who is supposed to be who over there...what the heck is the pecking order.

Those poor people. Being led by the blind.

Who are they to offer him safe passage out of Iraq?

This is a horror!

And absolute filthy, vile horror!

I want to vomit.

House of Horrors.

and they know it. They may as well go all the way and say he was on a C-130 headed home and got off at the last minute.

They also tried to pick up the check, but Berg insisted.
