#1 I wonder if there is more to the story or if indeed the coincidences are indeed just a bizarre twist of fate.

#2 ...What the heck is going on here? Am I the only one who would never let somebody 'just use' his laptop, much less some guy on a bus?...

Sounds to me like Nick Berg was one terribly naive individual. And he paid for it with his life.

#6 MK, absolutely right. All of these stories about Berg are so much BS. Who would let a stranger on a bus use their laptop? Also, who would be stupid enough to walk around Iraq alone during an insurrection-- where everyone and anyone would recognize you as being a foriegner.

#7 So, a naif with an affinity for muslims - or part of an AQ conspiracy - who became a more observant Jew for cover - and effectively fooled everybody, including the FBI, everyone he encountered in Iraq, etc. Then his pals turn on him - but why? did they think he had been turned?

This is getting too Le Carreish even for me, and is confused by a father who apparently wouldnt accept that his son was a religious Jew and an Iraq hawk even if it were so.

For myself, I'll assume Berg was what he claimed to be, until further evidence comes in.

#8 Wait a minute! They're claiming Berg let the guy use his laptop on a bus? for email? So how did they get online? Where in rural Oklahoma is there wireless internet?

This story is a crock! Berg has to have been lying. Why?
