Arab linguists have said the man posing as the Jordanian Zaraqawi did not speak with a Jordanian dialect. Others have suggested the man reading the written statement may not have been a native speaker of Arabic. Zaraqawi was missing one leg and had been outfitted with an artificial leg that did not fit or function properly. He was unable to walk or stand normally with his ill-fitting limb. No man in the group showed evidence of such an infirmity.
As any surgeon will testify, the alleged beheading was a fake. A beheading would result in a tremendous amount of spurting blood. There would have been blood everywhere had an actual beheading taken place. When the executioner holds up Berg's head immediately following what is represented as an actual decapitation of a living person, there is no significant blood flow from the neck or blood splatters showing anywhere on the executioner. Furthermore, the cut was simply too neat to have been done crudely and with such amazing speed by a man wielding a knife. Anybody who has ever carved a turkey knows there is something wrong with the supposed beheading. The suspended head looks more like Berg had been neatly beheaded by a guillotine. The lack of spurting blood suggests Berg was already dead at the time of the alleged decapitation. It is possible Berg's dead body was displayed with his head already partially or totally severed. In any case, he almost certainly was killed before the staged beheading. If so, it suggests the captors had no stomach for an actual beheading of a living person, and they opted to fulfill their assignment quietly and with the least amount of gore.
The orange jumpsuit was standard US military issue to men in custody. It is unlikely Berg would have continuing wearing a US custodial uniform if he had been released by the military as they claim. The fact he was still wearing the suit is both anomalous and suggestive. One is forced to speculate as to whether there was an immediate transfer of Berg from the US military to unknown persons, thusly preventing Berg from discarding his US prison garb. The chair that Berg was seated in during the filming was a standard issue military chair of the exact same kind as seen in a color photo taken at the Abu Ghraib Prison. The chances a terrorist cell would be using this same chair are minimal at best.
Several of the men in the film were fat by Iraqi standards. If they were Feyadeen or mujahadeen, they probably have been living underground since the first days of the occupation. Tens of thousands of Iraqis have been shown on news stories as they have marched and demonstrated. One would be hard pressed to point out a single fat man among these thousands. Some men had what can only be described as pasty-white hands. Once again, one would be hard pressed to find Arab men with pasty-white hands.
The scream that is heard has been interpreted as a woman's scream by many viewers. Videotape cognoscenti have further said the scream was amateurishly added to the tape. Iraqis who have seen the videotape on Arabic news broadcasts are universally saying the men in the film are not Iraqis. Are they saying this partly because the speaker does not employ an Iraqi dialect? Where does their certainty come from?
The U.S. government translation of one statement made on the film is: "Does al Qaeda need any further excuses?" This is a falsification. The actual statement urged fellow insurgents to get off their hind ends and do something. One assumes the translator being used by the US military is a native speaker of Arabic, so this cannot be explained as an innocent flub. This suggests the US government wanted to inject an alleged al- Qaeda group into the murder of Nick Berg.
Firearms experts have stated the AK-47 carried by one man was a "Gilal." This actually is an Israeli-made weapon that improves on the famous AK- 47. Feyadeen and other insurgents almost universally use AK-47s.
The US military has stated that Berg was never in US custody and that he had been in custody of the Iraqi police. The Iraqi police adamantly deny he was ever in their custody. On April 1, an e-mail from Beth A. Payne, the U.S. consular officer in Iraq, was sent to the family of Nick Berg. It stated that Ms. Payne had located Nick, and he was currently in custody of the US military. We have to conclude that either the email was bogus or the US military has been lying.
The time and format of the time changes between the long boring segment and the disgusting end. It is hard to point to any aspect of this story that is not fishy. In a real traumatic amputation, everyone in the picture would have a lot of blood on them. In this sham, not even the head is dripping blood.
I took a picture of Abu Graihb and Nicholas Berg's beheading and put them both into photoshop. The paint on the walls matches EXACTLY. Please note I did not adjust these colors at all.
This has to be the sloppiest piece of black propaganda in the recorded annals of intelligence history. One of the" terror tubbies" is wearing white, western tennis shoes. Come on Guys, have you become THAT desperate! Has anyone ever seen so-called Arab foreign fighters in such a state of near obesity. They'd be worth a lot on the battlefield, 5 minutes of combat and and at least two of these guys would fall over from cardiac embolism. I've been watching Palestinans fighting the Israelis for over 30 years. Not one I've seen shares that body shape or stumped over demeanor. My theory: The US military handed over poor Mr. Berg to CIA/Mossad and they recruited well-fed Iraqi exiles(their well-paid thugs) who have lived in the West for many years to be actors in this porno snuff film. Mossad pulled this stunt on Leon Klinghoffer (Achille Lauro and Israel's Abu Nidal Gang). Utilising Abu Nidal , Israel also ordered the murder of their own Ambassador to the United Kingdom , Shlomo Argov (He survived-just barely). This became the pretext for the disastrous Israeli invasion of Lebanon.

Notice where this quote comes in:
"The Prophet, the most merciful, ordered (his army) to strike the necks of some prisoners in Badr (battle) and to kill them ... And he set a good example for us." Even the most fanatical, extreme and radical of "Muslims" would never, ever refer to the Prophet Muhammed as "the most merciful". This is an attribute that Muslims reserve for God (there are 99 of them) and it is forbidden to give any of those attributes to anyone else, prophets included.
