I did not say Berg was on the streets in Jan. But I will say that between the time he was taken off the streets and when released, things deteroriated much more. Remember, he was picked up, in part, because Iraqis were suspicious of a westerner without protection.
If one has a conspiracy theory, then one should first have supporting facts. Fact: Nichols was in the Phillippines. Before he went, his bombs did not work. After he came back, he was making good bombs. At least that was a fact - and still not enough for a valid conspiracy theory. I see nothing in this thread but classic junk science reasoning to say he was killed by a conspiracy. But we do see how badly the safety in Iraq has deteroriated since January - especially for Americans. Therein lies a fact. That deteroration is worth discussing - and not wild speculation of a conspriacy to murder Berg. It is the difference between one who thinks using emotion and one who first seeks the irrefutible fact. Irrefutible fact. Iraq is becoming less safe every month since January - except in the rhetoric of the George Jr administration.
