Comrade Commissar's covering some unexplained potential anomalies in the background of the late Mr. Nicholas Berg. I haven't a clue as to the truth of any of it, but gee, that's strange.
Rumors swirling range from contacts with an acquaintance of Zacarias Moussaoui to strange goings-on once he was actually Over There.
Read the whole thing and try to figure out just what the hey is going on here. This article doesn't help clarify things at all.
I'll trust you to read the whole thing; here's a few of my points in response:
-The lack of al-Jazeera or other media exploitation is interesting. Al-Qaeda operatives generally are pretty good at media manipulation, no? Unless this was some impromptu thing, one would expect them to have put on a better PR campaign.
-What's the deal with this guy's company? If there's no record of his installing any towers, what was he up to over there? Of course, records aren't always found immediately; it could be that the guy was busier than a one-armed paper hanger.
-And what about his college career? I don't know what it takes to install these towers, but surely it takes some brains and perhaps extensive instruction, especially for a one-man operation.
-I haven't a response to the political memberships of his father and so forth; that's really outside my (admittedly limited) range of analysis.
There's a couple of variables missing in this equation, and I don't even know what they are. Curiouser and curiouser.
