I'm not familiar with the source of this story, nor have I jumped onto the Berg Frenzy Bandwagon; however, there seem to be more questions than answers regarding this young man. Case in point, the stories (like this one) keep being written:
The Unexamined Life of Nicholas Berg
Sarah Whalen, Arab News
NEW ORLEANS, Louisiana, 21 May 2004 — Nicholas Berg died horribly in Iraq. Why?
His killers don’t say. They complain, but not about Berg.
Of all Iraq’s hostages, only Berg was decapitated.
And very inexpertly.
Suspects have already been rounded up.
One wonders how, since all five were masked and unidentifiable.
Why would the infamous, already-photographed Zarqawi hide?

While Berg told his family he’d struggled to make money, friends said Berg made $70,000 his first month there, and considered sailing the Turkish coast before returning home.
When he returned to Iraq again, Berg expected contracts worth $20,000 a month for “radio” work. But was he being paid for something else?
Berg complained to US officials their detention cost him “thousands of dollars.”
much, much more...
