Strange tale of Nick Berg
If you get a chance, read up on all the strange things that are being learned aobut Nick Berg. His e-mail account was used by Maossauwi (sp?) after he lent it to a fellow student at U of OK (where both Berg and Maossauwi were students).
It gets even stranger. Apparently many people told him he was foolish for being in Iraq with no purpose and urged him to leave. His response was "I know these people better than you." He traveled around with no offers or any realistic hope of getting work in Iraq. He would use public transportation and stuck out like a sore thumb.
Supposedly when he was arrested by the Iraqi police, he was carrying a Koran and an anti-semitic text (he is jewish). When released, he was offered a free flight out of Iraq but refused it.
Strange, strange, strange, indeed.
