of questioning. I hadn't seen anything more that the quoted press release but after you mentioning circulating theories I googled the topic.

I found one site with a lot of varying comments but in one, someone seems to have analysed the timer to produce a confused sequence of the event (see bottom)

"I don't really want to harp on this incident, but I have been
studying this video because it is not as `horrific' as some
have
suggested. In fact it has a Hollywood feel to it. I have seen quite a
few people killed, and the video struck me as being phony from the
start. Only now has it become apparent to me why it seems so phony.
There was obviously several `takes' of the event. The entire
video is
a series of disjointed actions, spliced and cut in an editing process
that seeks to present it as a smooth capture in one take. But the
military cameraman forgot about the video timer display, which co-
incidentally is in military time.

The total running time of the video is five minutes thirty nine
seconds less eleven seconds of banner introductions. Nick Berg begins
his bio at 13:26:24 according to the video timer. It suddenly becomes
2:16:34 during the first sentence: "..Nick Berg, my fathers name
is
Michael, (time change 2:16:34) my mothers name is Susan\ufffd\ufffd.".
His
segment ends at 2:18:42. At 2:40:32 (presumably approx. 22 minutes
later) the Arabic speech begins and ends at 2:44:39 with him pulling
out a butchers knife from his breast and grabbing Berg by the hair in
a sideways motion and downwards. He stabs him at 2:44:12 (25 seconds
earlier; please explain?). The timer shows that the speech was fourminutes seven seconds long, although the actual running time of the
speech on the video is four minutes 15 seconds long. After
the `killer' (I put `killer' is inverted commas the
facts are not
clear here) grabs Berg by the hair he presumably (because the picture
suddenly gets fuzzy) cuts at his throat. The picture clarifies some
eleven hours later or 13 hours prior (who the hell is to know?) at
13:45:46 with the killer laboriously sawing through Berg's neck.
The
segment ends some fifty-four seconds later at 13:47:52 (two minutes
six seconds later) which suddenly becomes 2:46:18 with a
different `killer' holding up the severed head.

I have thought long and hard about this discrepency in the times, and
can only conclude that either:

Two cameras were involved in the recording of the beheading and the
combined result edited for a `smooth' depiction of the
atrocity, but
the camera angle remains unchanged during the time changes.

The event was stage managed with many `takes' and practiceruns. It
would also explain the `turning of two pages of double sided
notes
seven times'.

Is there somebody out there that is familiar with the type of video
camera used, and who perhaps has professional experience in this
regard?"

I can add that I do not trust racists, religion regardless. Bush is a "born-again" Christian and he killed a lot of people - more than Bin Laden, at least. Sharon ("my" primer) is a mass murderer, and he is not a Muslim (he is secular, but religious settlers are his true masters)
