Brain Fertilizer

I guess I wouldn't to go so far as saying Nick Berg is dirty...

...but the more we learn, the more perplexing his story seems.

The Commissar has a good summation, including links to articles at Wizbangblog and Chronwatch.

My own early gut-reaction is that Nick was a useful idiot to the terrorists, and they used him as an unwitting sacrificial lamb. I think he agreed to help, and didn't realize the caliber of the men he was dealing with.

...but I could be wrong. There may be a rational explanation for his 2-degrees of separation with Moussaoui, but I can't think of one off-hand. His continued presence in Iraq is rather questionable, as well.

I don't know. We may never know the truth.
