:) We'll know in 20 yrs when Oliver Stone makes a movie. It is odd that
someone would go to Iraq to drum up business. Wouldn't you do the drumming
here in the U.S.? (Please, Chip, leave us alone! :)]
But, here, from Wikipedia.
Possible video inconsistencies
The video contains some apparent inconsistencies which suggest that it may have been been edited extensively by parties unknown. Technical problems in the film may conceal significant facts. The sound is out of sequence with the image, indicating that it may have been recorded separately. The time-stamp display indicates that several edits have been made. A significant discontinuity (over 11 hours) in the video's time-stamp from 2:44:12 to 13:45:47 [K-note: this could be explained with the use of two video cams I've read. Or, as some speculate, the first part of video was made, message sent to WH, they waited, no negotiations....] occurs just after the killing begins. While the video is of poor quality, the sequences showing the beheading after the time jump appear to show very little arterial bleeding associated with the removal of the head, indicating that this act may very likely have been performed post-mortem. [K-note: which means, of course, that he was already dead, so what's the diff? OTOH, there are about 50 contractors missing, 4 bodies were discovered around the time Berg was murdered].
[K-note: for a guy who used the Internet, there is little information about him or his company on the 'net prior to this incident. Of course, not an exhaustive search]
An article on the English edition of the Al Jazeera website outlines further inconsistencies with the video, its distribution/dissemination and the circumstances surrounding Berg's death. Among these are
Berg's orange jump-suit (commonly given to detainees at US-run detention facilities) the timing of the video's release (at the height of scandals over the treatment of prisoners at Abu Ghraib by US Military Police acting under the direction of military intelligence) the motionlessness of the body as Berg is being beheaded the access to the video available to mainstream news outlets such as Fox News, CNN, and the BBC within an hour after the story broke while Al Jazeera for instance, was unable to download the video only 30 min afterwards why a private Jewish American citizen would choose to wander around Iraq by himself why Berg was really arrested and detained by Iraqi police, with the full knowledge of the FBI the disputed origin of the killer's accent the mystery as to why al-Zarqawi would disguise his identity after verbally taking credit for the killing when his face is already well known
