Welcome to IWETHEY!

New There's a K5 story on it.
[link|http://www.kuro5hin.org/story/2004/5/15/22827/0477|Nick Berg's Killing: 50 Fishy Circumstances, Flawed Timeline Events, and Videotape Anomalies]. It's in the edit queue at the moment - you'll need an account to see it there. Once it's out of edit and moderation, you will be able to read it without being logged in (assuming it makes it out of the queue).

I haven't looked at the story - it's just a FYI.

[edit - the story's in the edit queue at the moment.]

Cheers,
Scott.

New It's gone to voting.
You should all have K5 accounts by now!

Second best website in the universe!

I'm not biased, oh no, not me.

New Sounds very democratic
I have a K5 account & went looking but am not sure where to look. I found several items on the Berg video that were very close in theme to the points covered.

I have no real notion as to if the video was real or staged, it just struck me as having glaring inconsistencies & I now see that many other people picked up on the same plus a lot more aspects.

- Just discovered I don't have an account (I thought I was logging in but it now seems not. To complicate matters they say that due to recent abuse they have stopped accepting new members. I guess I will have to wait this one out.

New The new account thing is in hand
Basically I send a weekly (or so) email to rusty saying "open the account signups already".

There's a discussion taking place amongst the staff about how to approach this. We've had some problems.

New What does 'gone to voting' mean

is this a place where members 1st debate then vote on submitted material which when approved goes up for public viewing ?

Tks - Doug
New That's about the size of it.

New The voting obviously over - story now readable

For me, it seems that my little list of discrepancies is tiny.

Some additional material K5 item brings up ...

Seeing Berg in an orange jumpsuit seemed odd but I missed the point that it was standard US prison issue & WTF was Berg as a captive of al-Qaeda militants, doing in it.

K5 item seems to accept without doubt that Berg is dead (I had not concluded that other than to wonder how his body was identified - no head, perhaps fingerprints - maybe they had them on file from his earlier US incarceration). Implication from K5 being that perhaps he died in US custody while being being 'interrogated' at Abu Ghaib prison & that the video was a way of covering this up whilst taking heat of the administration ?

K5 also mention the matter of the chair. I am now inclined to wonder about this coincidence (same model & colour as the one appearing in other Abu Ghaib photos ??? - sure al-Qaeda terorists might shop at the same supermarket in Bhagdad WTF ???).

Thanks for pointing me to the article. It doesn't end the issue, just reinforces the need to question the stuff we get dished up.

PS in today's news I see that Colin Powell is asking why more Arabs haven't reacted to the murder of Berg ----- poor man (Powell that is).
