Give me a break. You can get that chair at any Baghdad Wal-Mart.

you're ignoring the other evidence presented as well, though.

All crimes can be traced back to the Lowe's Home & Garden Shoppe.

My favorite of the user comments that follow the article:

Man, that damned chair gets around. Last week, I saw it on a National Geographic TV program: a monk was sitting on it in a cave in Tibet, where they were restoring 16th century Bhuddist frescoes. Last year, it was on my aunt's front porch in Buffalo.

people love to manufacture conspiracies. Remember the French idiots who had "proof" that the Pentagon 911 crash was staged?

BTW, I used to have 2 of those chairs, but they are missing. I wonder...

fools... its obvious since President Bush and John Kerry are 355th cousins they made contact with the Illuminati to construct the face on Mars which when enhanced, inverted, and disassembled into 3.16 million pieces and then reassembled using an anti-gravity flux capacitor found in the wreckage of Roswell but only on 10/10/2010 shows the face of Lee Harvey Oswald.

not a bad plan, but you've made a fatal error, of course.

the Mars landing was faked. EVERYONE knows that.

Let's see, Kerry, Bush, and Clinton all went to Yale. If someone can prove Berg ever visited the state of Connecticut the circle shall be complete.

That is the same chair they found at the school depository after JFK was shot. Even though the Warren Commission concluded that there was no way that Lee Harvey Oswald could have gotten the shots off sitting down.

Here is what I don't understand. The first and last pictures. The first picture is of Americans (CIA?) standing around at the prison. The last picture is of American Marines? leading a prisoneer off. Just why are these pictures relevant to this article???

Anyway, any chance this is a simple case of "The tail wagging the Dog"? Could this of been an elaborite hoax put out by the CIA? Exactly, why was he detained by the police? Life in a foreign prison or this elaborite hoax and a new identity.

I would love to see the complete unedited video.

I believe the first pic is supposed to draw some link between the terrorists and the five people in the picture, as well as showcase the "rare" chair. The last pic is showing that one of a kind orange jumpsuit that the prisoner is wearing...which WOW is the same one Berg had on. :eek:

I haven't seen the video either, but from what I've read, I believe the terrorists manipulated the video to make it appear as if it all happened in real-time, when in fact, he was alive during the first part of the taping and they spliced in footage of him beling "killed" when he may have already been dead, including holding the head up. Like I said, I haven't seen it, but if it's true that there is screaming after his head was severed, that's the most likely conclusion in my mind, not that Americans did it as part of some conspiracy to get the country back in pro-war mode. I'll need more than white chairs and "those guys have American body language" to convince me of that.

I'm not a believer in big government, but I highly doubt George Bush and the CIA are in a chat room exchanging ideas like killing one of our own to make the U.S. pro-war.

Anyone else read the rest of the posts in that forum? They pretty much scare the hell out of me. The one with the song lyrics about how we all have to be human, respect each other, etc., etc. really hit it for me. As if we can send an email to Al Quaeda and ask them nicely to please stop the centuries of hate. Do people really think it's that simple?

Yeah, you're probably right.

Even though I don't know that any of this matters, I have a slightly different take after watching the video. In the video, Berg pretty much lays motionless while they are doing the horendous act. Now, I don't know about you, but if some crazed terrorist brandished a blunt knife at me I would be flailing like crazy to try and get out of there (even if it would have been impossible).

Therefore, the most likely theory is that they filmed the first part with him alive then stopped the camera. Next, they recorded the audio of him screaming as they really did kill him (my guess is slit his throat - which is almost as vile). Then, they recorded the head coward sawing off his head after Nick was already dead. That would explain the oddities of the video (fact that the screaming starts too soon, blood thing mentioned here).

At any rate, it's just as gruesome and once again shows the only language these barbarians understand is that of violence. I also don't see any possible reason for the US to do this. In this day and age of leaks and the internet, it would eventually come out. And something like this would destroy the entire administration in a second. If the government wanted to deceive the people to get them to support the war (and I'm not saying that would even consider it - just following this odd logic), it would make more sense to somehow plant WMDs than do something as crazy as this.

So just that we're clear, we know that the guys in the background are American because:

1.) They're light-skinned. All terrorists are brown. And not just light brown, but dark, "really not white at all" brown.

2.) They're kind of tubby. Terrorists, like all Arabs, are starving to death and are never fat. Americans, of course, are always fat, especially those in the military.

3.) They're wearing tennis shoes which aren't sand-stained. Terrorists, like all Arabs, do not live in cities but rather spend their days riding camels through the desert.

The guy is stupid (goes without saying). They aren't even bullet proof vests. They are freakin' LCEs. American soldiers don't even wear bullet proof vests in combat zones, they wear body armor, which looks nothing like what is seen in the video.

His entire article is based on assumptions and ignorance and I'm sorry that he actually believes this himself. The fact that other people believe it is another story altogether.

1. Irish terrorists are white. As are the French.

2. http://graphics7.nytimes.com/images/2003/03/02/international/11shaikh.jpg <========Not skinny

3. I thought they wore camoflagued shoes. Because they are so hard to find. And to sneak up on people, and stuff.

I have never seen a terrorist issue prison jumpsuits to their hostages! Never, Never, Never. Usually thier clothes look as beat up as they do.

I guess because he was being symbolized as a prisoner at the prison.

I don't understand. I never heard the Iraqi's who were holding Berg claim that they were at the Prison.

The idea that all this was done at the prison and some huge plot to gain support for the war and the President; started after the video was released.
