NOTE: Quite a bit of the stuff is speculation by conspiracy buffs but the
particular material below is a plausible explanation as to why Berg was
detained in Iraq. He was confused with his dad who is strongly anti-war.
Actually Nick supported it. Mainstream media seem to be silent about all
this. Since this came out the Mosul police have denied ever having custody
of Berg a direct contradiction of the official US story. Some conspiracy
buffs see the beheading as a clever black psyops operation to distract
attention away from US prison abuse and to create a counter outrage to
neutralise revelations of US torture.

The family firm of beheaded American Nick Berg, was named by a conservative
website in a list of 'enemies' of the Iraq occupation. That could explain
his arrest by Iraqi police --a detention which fatally delayed his planned
return from Iraq and may have led directly to his death.

At the time the list was posted, Nick Berg had just come back from an Iraq
trip lasting from late December to Feb. 1. He had reported no problems
whatsoever with Iraqi police during that visit.

Yet, within two weeks of the list being posted, Nick Berg --back in Iraq on
his final fatal trip-- was reportedly detained in Mosul at an Iraqi police
checkpoint. The official explanation is that authorities thought his
identification might have been forged and were checking his authenticity.

But a more likely reason is that by then authorities in Iraq had discovered
that a 'Berg' of Prometheus Methods Tower Service was in the country, and
issued a detention instruction to Iraqi police because they misidentified
Nick Berg as an antiwar activist entering Iraq to work for the 'enemy'.

That could explain why he was held incommunicado for 13 days, without
recourse to a lawyer; why US officialdom was singularly unheeding of his
mother's pleas; why the FBI visited his family to question them; why it took
a US court order secured by the family to pressure his release.
