Why would Abu Musab al-Zarqawi find it necessary to hide his face in the video? I mean, it's not like he was sneaking around in the streets and trying to evade capture. Why would he be crowing about his ability to kills Americans so easily and viciously, and take credit for this murder up front, AND YET hide his face in the video?
Could be because he didn't want to be identfied with any new characteristics like scars, or changes in facial hair... could be that psychologically it may inflame people even more against the killer by being able to see his face while commiting the act (hence why the hangmen/beheaders of old were hooded)... could be that a hood or mask makes one look more sinister and ominous... could be it wasn't Zarqawi but someone else claiming to be him. In any case, it's obviously to BushCo's advantage that the killer be "identified" immediately and such "identified" person be way up on the aQ ladder.
Does anyone have a clue as to what exactly showed up on Moussaoui's computer regarding Nick Berg? Why and how would Mr Berg comes to the attention of someone like Moussaoui? Can someone even offer a speculative answer to what this computer link might be, because I just don't get it.
According to a CBS news report I just finished watching on the tube is that while in college, Nick loaned his laptop to some dude on the campus bus who proceded to use his email, etc. This same unidentified person was caught and found to have used many other peoples' emails some of which were sent to Maussaoui and other assorted bad guys... implied in the report that this person was an aQ bad person. The FBI cleared Nick of all charges.
Could be that I'm getting more in-depth and/or Berg-sympathic coverage here since he was a local boy. They even showed some old home movie footage of the happy, healthy, hard-working, niceguy-Nick to eat up... I'm lovin this.
Weirder and weirder....
Not really. Seems pretty clear to me that the government is using this worthless bit of crap in an attempt to squash the outpouring of sympathy for Nick and those loudmouth librul Bergs as well as to attempt to squash the growing disgust at the government largely brought on by them there loudmouth librul Bergs.
