Berg decapitation video a fake

[miriam_e]

patchworkkid recently asked if "normal" media sources have analysed the possibility of the Berg decapitation video being a fake. In my reply I mistakenly thought he meant that Berg wasn't really decapitated. Now I know what he meant.

It looks like the video was created to enhance hatred of the Muslims and divert attention from Western mistreatment of prisoners. Another dirty deed that will blow up in the faces of the perpetrators.

At least it is reassuring that the bad guys are so damn stupid.

Good Lord! I remember someone protesting, I think it was a relative, that Berg was in US custody, seeking help to get home. The US military said he wouldn't accept help and took off. That didn't add up at all to me. It was like one minute he's in US custody and the next minute he is being beheaded by Iraqis for no apparent reason with no plausible explanation of how he got from one situation to the other.

And, now that they mention it, that orange jump suit is completely out of place. I have never seen any terrorists put their captives in orange jump suits anywhere in the world. It wouldn't even make sense for them to do that. Where would they even get a standard prison jumpsuit?
