Is the fact that Berg was released by the U.S. before he tried "finding his way home." He hasn't been in US custody since the beginning of April.

I don't see what's so difficult to believe about him being kidnapped and then executed. It's not like the US has a patent on orange jumpsuits, after all, they are sort of a universal symbol for "prisoner." If the execution was in revenge for abuse of Iraqi prisoners then it makes perfect sense. Besides, if he *was* sort of just traveling around Iraq on his own, looking for work, he's precisely the sort of guy that's likely to get picked up by both sides.

I just don't see the need for conspiracy here, I guess. Can't bad things just happen anymore?
