> The Nick Berg Cover-up: Officials Refuse to Answer a Simple Question about Him
6 August 2005, 21:53
Hi! This is interesting. I worked on a couple of beheading murder cases as a criminal lawyer and took an interest in the Berg case from afar. A lot of the facts do not add up and with my forensic knowledge of murder by knife to the throat, I personally believe the Berg execution video was staged. In the cases I worked on, all the medical experts testified that a victim absolutely cannot scream loudly while their throat is being slashed from side to side and if there is any degree of major pressure exerted on internal neck structures, it will impair function of the vocal cords. This expert testimony appeared in more than one case and was a turning point for explaining why witnesses did not hear a victim scream in the next room... Also, any type of neck slashing is an EXTREMELY bloody deed -a veritable evidence trail-, and would have been far more bloody than the incident depicted on that tape. When the arteries in the neck are cut on a live person, they would spurt blood violently, especially in a healthy, fit young man like Nick Berg. Keep up the investigation! I am very skeptical about the whole "execution" based on my knowledge of verified, non-political, criminal cases. The timing of the release of all of these tapes has been questionable, including the one before the election and the recent threat from the Al Queda leader just when support for the war is waning due to casualties... Hmmm...
