Berg's father said his son was Jewish and had a fringed religious cloth with him, but he did not think Berg wore the clothing in public. Still, "there's a better chance than not that they knew he was Jewish," Michael Berg said. "If there was any doubt that they were going to kill him that probably clinched it, I'm guessing."

<snip>

His father said Berg returned from his trip to Ghana emaciated because he gave away most of his food, and the only possessions he had were the clothes on his back.

"That's the kind of passion we're dealing with here," Michael Berg said.

<snip>

He saw his trip to Iraq, his father said, as an adventure, but one that fit into his ideology. He was a war supporter and backed the Bush administration. He helped set up electronics equipment at the Republican National Convention in Philadelphia in 2000.

After working for a Texas company, Nick Berg went into business for himself in West Chester, near Philadelphia. Berg flew to Iraq on Royal Jordanian airlines, his father said. His father thought that would be the route he would take out of Iraq and even showed up at Kennedy Airport in New York in hopes of picking him up March 30.

7. his dad said so on an interview from last week.

THey played a clip from last week this morning of his dad saying he went over because he supported the war and wanted to contribute to the rebuilding of Iraq. This clip of his dad was from before he knew his son was dead supposedly.

15. Fooled

Although it helps a great deal, you don't have to be a blood thirsty Flying Monkey to support Bush's war. You can be a naive idealist who has been fooled big time.

Although we understand Bush's BS for what it is, and although most freepers have long ago taken the gloves off and openly accept the war as a show of unbridled American force, subjugation and power, there are still pockets of people who buy into Bush's supposed moral mission.

This kid probably believed in the mission that American enterprise and commerce was the key to Iraqi and Muslim freedom and democracy. He may have gone over there with the very best of intentions, and truly believed he would be welcomed because of his good works as an ambassador for not only the US but Jewish people. Ooops.
