it's impossible for the FBI to get a hold of a university's password list - There is a lot fishy here, But I don't think the FBI would need to know the password. They could find out that an e-mail was sent that ended up in a terrorist destination by the copies they keep from the carnivore project. They would have read the mail, and noted that it came from a machine with Berg's ethernet id. An interview would have revieled that Berg shared his password or entered for someone. This does raise two interesting points that may apply to later events. 1) The carnivore project was tracking these e-mails long before 9/11 2) Berg had a recorded association with someone on the terrorist lists, and this FBI report may have led to his arrest when he turned up in Iraq.
