Found link for English translation of Berg Video.
http://tides.carebridge.org/Translations/Berg.htm

I've been searching high and low for the English translation of what was being read in the video and when I found it, I thought others here may be interested.

1. Interesting that the term "Al Queda" was never used
Nor did anybody mention the name of al Zarqawi so much as mentioned, let alone anybody claim to be al Zarqawi.

And this is a U.S. government translation, too!

3. It's annonying
that there is lead-in saying, " Al-Qa'ida's leader in Iraq Abu Musab al-Zarqawi beheaded an American civilian..." as if they know who it was.

It is my understanding that they don't know.

4. Didn't the administration try to say that Al-Queda was mentioned
in the translation and then back off of it.

I saw an interpreter on CNN and she stated "it must be an honest mistake but Al-Queda is never once mentioned in this statement."

She also said the accent does not match Zarqawi's.

7. Things like that are common in translation, esp where idiomatic
expressions are concerned.
