Reply #24: Sticking with the facts may be best

If you read the initial reports, then you would know that Berg's body was found on a Baghdad overpass by US Forces. Not exactly a remote area.

When the body was found it was reported that there was possibly some signs of trauma. Being headless would be a big sign of trauma you would think?

However despite the fact, that Berg was headless, they were able to ID him and had already notified his family when the first report appeared in the press.

BAGHDAD, Iraq (AP) Relatives and U.S. officials said Tuesday a body found on a Baghdad highway overpass was that of an American civilian contract worker missing since April 9 the same day insurgents attacked a U.S. convoy west of the capital.

The body found on the overpass was identified as Nick Berg, 26, of West Chester, Pa., a self-employed civilian contractor. Berg's body, with signs of trauma, was found Saturday, the military said.

The family was informed Monday of his death.


Now, if you have any links to any reports in the press that say the body and the head were found separately, I would love to see them.
