Decide For Yourself
I thought that since I had blogged quite a bit about the Nick Berg video I should alert you to this also. Apparently, some doctor in Mexico City has declared (originally in Spanish, I have not choice but to trust the translation) that:
...there is no way that the individual in the video was alive and his heart pumping while his neck was being cut. The doctor adds that in these cases, while the heart is pumping, cutting a person's artery in the neck, would cause copious amounts of blood to spurt all over the immediate environment. He says that in his opinion the video is a fraud.
Is it true? I don't know. I suppose the Black Helicopter crowd will tell you that the CIA was behind this. But then they'll also tell you that we never landed on the moon because there weren't any stars in the background of the moonscape pictures (proving once and for all some people's absolute stupidity).
I will admit 1) there did not seem to be much blood and 2) the video lost resolution as it appeared to zoom in too far just prior to the actual beheading leaving some room for manipulation. I still think the video is real, and it has been reported that his decapitated body was found in Iraq just before the video was posted. What do you think?
Update:
It seems that the plot thickens. I haven't had time to read too much on all this, but seems that Berg might have had some interesting connections. Let none of this distract from the absolute evil that was done to this guy...but the image of he might have left if only he hadn't been unfairly detained stuff we were hearing might be a bit misleading. Here's a bit:
Berg teamed up in Baghdad with an ex-Philadelphia man who led a controversial group of Iraqi expatriates encouraged by the U.S. government - even as he faced deportation for his role in Russian-emigre crime ring selling millions of vials used for crack.
I'm not trying to imply guilt by association...just to provide information. Read the article and let me know what you think.
Update 2:
Also check out CNN's story on Berg's run-in with Moussaoui. Weird to say the least. But then shark attacks only seem ubiquitous when the Media wants them to.
Update 3:
For more on this Black Helicopter's and Nick Berg check out The Moderate Voice (hat tip Wizbang).
