<font color=brown> Read this article that just came out.......something is very weird about this Berg dude. <font color=black>

****************************************************

cbsnews.com

"...But CBS News National Security Correspondent David Martin reports on what is turning into a bizarre mystery with a connection to 9/11.

U.S. officials say the FBI questioned Berg in 2002 after a computer password Berg used in college turned up in the possession of Zaccarias Moussaoui, the al Qaeda operative arrested shortly before 9/11 for his suspicious activity at a flight school in Minnesota.

The bureau had already dismissed the connection between Berg and Moussaoui as nothing more than a college student who had been careless about protecting his password.

But in the wake of Berg's gruesome murder, it becomes a stranger than fiction coincidence -- an American who inadvertently gave away his computer password to one notorious al Qaeda operative is later murdered by another notorious al Qaeda operative...."

What happened to Nick Berg was HORRENDOUS, and as a father myself of a 27 year old I cant even IMAGIN how I would feel. So, anything the Dad says at this point, I take with a grain of salt. However, Nick Berg, from what I understand was gallavanting all over Iraq, with absolutely no security along even though his friends supposedly repeatedly warned him. Either there is something about Berg we dont yet know, or he was a very foolhardy young man. I am very sorry for his family and for him, but its entirely unfair to blame anyone in the military IMHO for his death. jdn
