Resolution

I was thinking, earlier today, about Nick Berg's death. As the news of his murder was first circulating, some of my LJ friends were pointing at things in the video, or in the events leading up to his death, that appeared inconsistent with the story presented in the video: that he'd been kidnapped and executed by Muslim terrorists while the videotape was rolling.

And I was wondering: did anything more ever come of that? Was a hypothesis advanced that explained the apparent inconsistencies? Were the concerns of armchair bloggers refuted by mainstream sources or official channels? Does anyone here know?

[Edit: Here's an example of the inconsistencies that were being discussed at the time.]

I respectfully disagree with your premes(plural of premis?) and your conclusion.

Oh, and for future reference, it's just Gary. I'm too boring for cool nicknames, so my LJ handle is simply my name.

Which premise? Which conclusion?

Seriously though, just about everything in your post I disagree with your view of.

I know, it's a bit rude not to go into details. But the subject has drifted off the main topic(did anything get resolved regarding Nick Berg) and since this is in someone else's 'house' so to speak, I think it would be kind of rude to fill up her semi-private journal with debate over the side issues.

Perhaps it can be said that such resolution (of the Nick Berg video questions) was reached with by dint of the same scene being repeated by a far-too-large number of performances by the same actors upon other hapless hostages.

And without FreeRepublic comments on their fathers, even. ];-)
