Games, they said Al Qaida did it, not the Iraqis. Please get your facts straight if you want to criticize something.
This does indeed seem suspicious. I had wondered about the orange prisoner garb when the first pictures were shown regarding this video. After all, terrorists who kidnap you keep you "as-is" and rough you up. They don't put you into US standard issue prison clothes!
The real questions are as follows:
If the beheading was fake, who killed this man?
If the beheading was not fake, who are these killers?
I've not seen the video myself, I have no desire to, however if a man, Nick Berg or otherwise, was actually killed in the video then it raises a lot of concerns. If it was filmed at the Abu Ghraib prison, which is US controlled, with a US military officer looking on as suggested, then it means US operatives were responsible for the staged and deliberate murder of a civilian for the sole purpose of spreading propaganda. The alternative is that Israeli intelligence agents staged it, as noted by the Uzi clips on some of the supposed "terrorists", but the presence of a US officer looking on still does not absolve the US of anything here; It just makes this all the more damnable.
Lastly, if the beheading was faked, then where is the real Nick Berg?
They say the truth is the first casualty in any war. This only serves to drive that point home even deeper. I suppose we'll never know for sure what happened.
