a few points.
1) The entire world is very angry at the US for the whole prisoner abuse scandal. I don't think its that far fetched that people closely related to that situation might be so angered as to take some revenge in one of the only means available.
2) That chair is standard issue everywhere. I can walk down to Rite-aid and buy one for $3. They are cheap as hell and everywhere. I would bet that 8 out of 10 of my neighbors have that same chair on their patios. Again, not too hard to believe that there may be more than one of the same chair type in the whole of Iraq.
3) If this guy isusing the pictures in the above link to establish that the wall color is the same, then either he or I is color blind, I don't see it.
4) That is probably the same orange jumpsuit you would find in any prison and we know that Berg was held prior to his disappearance. I think that it has been pretty well established that the coelition forces did hold him despite what the government says, but I don't see how that proves anything.
5) Sure the time codes jump around. I think there is a 12 hour disparity or something like that, but why is it hard to think that these guys didn't have the ability to edit the tape. Maybe it didn't happen all at once, maybe it happened throughout the course of several hours and was just edited together later.
6) seems to me that this chart regarding decapitation that is being linked is for animals (in particular for Laboratory rodents, small rabbits, birds, fish, and amphibians) and not specifically for humans. Not to mention that it says that violent muscle contraction CAN occur after decapitation, it doesn't day DO occur DURING decapitation. I think that it is unlikely that he was dead before being decapitated because of the way the blood poured out onto the floor. If he were dead for any amount of time the blood wouldn't flow like that because it coagulates once it stops circulating in your system. If he was dead prior to the beheading, he still would have had to have been killed only just prior too it.
7) Its certainly possible that the US wanted to hide the fact that they detained him because they wanted to avoid taking any resonsability for his subsiquent capture and murder. Its also possible that there was a lapse in information.
8) I certainly can't confirm that they speak Russian or Arabic with a Russian accent, but I don't plan on accepting this statement as fact. Besides, there are certainly angry militant muslims from all over. Russia and Afgahnistan don't have the best relationship and they are awfully close together.
9) I can't say that the video was of good enough quality to clearly show a ring on anyones hand. Also the links the poster submitted as proof don't seem to lead anywhere, so I don't even know if there is any truth to his statement that they are forbidden.
10) What's the point here? If he spoke Arabic, he would know what was being said whether the killers were Arabic or Russian, the text of the message didn't change. I don't see a point.
11) Last I checked, Air Jordans are not found soley in the US.
12) I am pretty sure that only one of the Terrorist's names are mentioned in the video.
13) The hands in the video appear light because they are highlighted against dark clothes. not to mention, not all Arabs are that dark. Also I don't think that the video is clear enough to make any assertions that killers are of any certain ethinicity based on their skin color.
14) So what if the time is in "US Military English?" we aren't the only ones in the world who use this type of time system. There are 24 hours in a day regardless of where you live in the world.
Anyway, those are some of my thoughts.
