Thanks, Stickdog. Just when you think the Berg story couldn't get any more twisted... <p></p><i></i>

What's the official line on why Moussaoi had Berg's computer password or whatever that story was? <p></p><i></i>

[HMKGrey]

That's one bizarre story. Apparently they met on a bus, struck up a conversation and Berg leant him his e-mail account password. I've also read that he let him <!--EZCODE ITALIC START--><em>use</em><!--EZCODE ITALIC END--> his computer to send the e-mail(s) - though how he'd do that on a bus, heaven knows. <br><br>I put this tale in the same manilla folder as the WTC passport story. It says BS on the tab. <br><br>'Got a feeling the Berg story is going to be around for decades and will only get stranger. It's stranger already but the PTB will heap further strangeness on it to cover their tracks. <p></p><i></i>

[HMKGrey]

Funnily enough, I think it was a bus to or from a University... <br><br>It was in Norman, Oklahoma. <br><br>Wki quote: (FWIW)<br><br>On May 14, it was revealed that Nick Berg had been investigated during the U. S. government's investigation of Zacarias Moussaoui. Berg's email address had been used by Moussaoui prior to the September 11, 2001 attacks. According to Berg's father, Nick Berg had had a chance encounter with an acquaintance of Moussaoui on a bus in Norman, Oklahoma. This person had asked to borrow Berg's laptop computer to send an email. Berg gave the details of his own email account and password, which were later used by Moussaoui. The FBI found that Berg had had no direct terrorism connections or direct link with Moussaoi.[5]<br><br> <p></p><i></i>

there's a huge nest of patsies over there. there's a ring of them there that the neocons claim were responsible for OK bombing in 95. <br><br>If you don't succeed, try, try again! <p></p><i></i>
