Doubts over execution video

doubts

Some people are questioning the authenticity of the beheading video with reasonable evidence. I think it was real though. The only thing I found odd with the video (besides a human being getting decapitated) were a couple jump cuts towards the end of it.

I can't really have an opinion about that one, as I've not seen the video and never will - not because of any politic point of view of mine, but because I just don't want to see people getting their heads cut off, fake or not, in Iraq or not.

Only when there's enough mystery to turn it into a conspiracy. And Nick Berg had enough mysteries in his life to write an auto-biography.

1. He was a communications expert
2. He went to Iraq alone
3. Arrested by Iraqi police for suspicious actions
4. Supposedly refused FBI's offer of a free ride home
5. And now they've discovered that alledged-terrorist Massoui had some of his e-mails

What gives? I recon there's more to this Nick Berg than we know.

I suspect that he may have been an agent for Mossad and was trying to infiltrate al-qaeda and/or tried to bug communications facilities so Israel could spy on the new Iraqi government.

But I'm just a dumb conspiracy theorist, what would I know?

In some cases, more information can be obtained by analyzing the obscure than by observing the obvious.
Ie. In some cases, looking at the conpiracy theories may make the truth stand out.
Maybe the theorists know more than we do.

This is an interesting site: Nick Berg

You can not argue that there's no possibility of a conspiracy when alleged terrorist Massoui used Berg's laptop some years ago. Coincidence? Hardly!

Something really fishy going on here... Unfortunally we'll never be able to see the truth. As Wiston Churchil once said, truth is such a powerful weapon during war times that it must be surrounded with bodyguards of lies.

Yeah, they used to ride a bus together while at school in Oklahoma or some such. Many of Berg's login passwords and usernames were attributed to Moussaoui (sp?) even later after the fact. Berg's dad claims that his son was just careless with personal security, but if the FBI was questioning him four or five times while he was in U.S. military custody in Iraq...

I love the whole bit with the blood, too. You think that one would be obvious as all hell. No blood = no real execution. We're talking a jugular vein here people. It spurts. And the brain is so full of blood that when you lift a sliced-off head, it will drip.

That's right, unless you did the decapitation with a red-hot blade, thereby cauterising the wound.

Princess Leia: I happen to like nice men.
Han Solo: I'm a nice man.

Jugular still gushes far too much and too quickly to be stifled by cauterizing from a nice during a slow back and forth cut. The back and forth motion alone would constantly reopen the wound.

OK. I see what you're saying.

Princess Leia: I happen to like nice men.
Han Solo: I'm a nice man.

A lightsaber was used, perhaps?

I know I sohuldn't be joking about this, but right now the thing smells so fishy, I really don't belive on it being true anymore.
