Nick Berg Was Arrested Twice At OU During Spring 2000

[Andy_Stephenson]

Today from the Norman city court clerk I obtained a document confirming that Nicholas E. Berg, who reportedly was decapitated by militants in Iraq, was arrested twice for trespassing on the University of Oklahoma campus during the spring of 2000. Earlier, OU police had reported that he had been sleeping on couches around the campus. He appeared to be living as a vagrant during that period. The OUPD actually contacted him six times.

Today I gave the arrest record to the editor of The Norman Transcript.

Friday, I ascertained that Berg had been an OU employee during academic year 2000-2001. The OU personnel directory for that year listed him as a facilities attendant at the Lloyd Noble arena.

The thought crosses one's mind that Berg might have been the one who bought the 9/11 hijacker's airline ticket from the OU library computer terminal. I have not been able to ascertain whether he was ever an OU library employee. Most likely, he would have been a temp.

Still, there are things about Berg's story which don't add up. Are we to believe that someone would really voluntarily surrender his email password to a stranger he met on the bus? This is apparently the story which Berg told the FBI to account for the fact that the password and Berg's email address were on Moussaoui's computer when they searched it, after 9/11.

1. Did Bush's CIA Kill Berg?

It seems that his story of being a true Bushie is full of holes.

5. There is a lot of strangeness here, but...

Okay,

I used to get in trouble for hanging out around various university campuses all of the time, when I was enrolled, and when I wasn't. Quite a few times I was "caught" sleeping in my car, sleeping in the libraries, etc. For a short time I lived in my decrepit car behind a church, and another time I lived in a shack in someone's backyard.

People found me odd jobs. Someone got me a locker in the university gym so I could take showers. I washed my clothes in laundromats that had sloppy coin mechanisms using tokens I got fixing video games. I had plenty of computer passwords, and I was only careful with a few of them. My parents didn't know what to do with me. Nobody did. Nothing I did ever "added up."

Berg doesn't seem that spooky to me. Someone may have been using him-- God knows people tried to use me, but I don't see anything you've posted here that is alarming.

Berg was an unusual young man who liked radios. Was he recruited by some sinister organization, or killed by one? I don't know.

6. Berg just doesn't seem like the type to slip into homelessness at 22

And have his own business by 26, including the confidence to wander the most dangerous country in the world unescorted. Unless perhaps he had undiagnosed bipolar disorder, or something of that nature.

7. and his dad

seems the type who always has to know where his son is and probably kept good contact with him. and from what i have seen he would not allow his son to be homeless.
