Litmus test for Berg Video...

[supercrash]

If it was CIA (whoever) then we won't see another head come off

If it's Al'Qaeda in Iraq...heads will roll


No way Al'Qaeda set up their head chopping shop in Iraq....and only came to cut one head off


More beheadings = Al'Qaeda

No more = CIA (whoever)

1. Interesting point.

Guess we'll have to wait and see.

2. what's the logic there?

Why would we see more videos if it's Al-Q? If it was revenge for the prison thing, as claimed, then it seems a one time thing would make sense.

Besides,

the taking of hostages has occurred in the region, and beheadings are not unheard of.

3. Now that the CIA has read your post

They will do the exact opposite of what we expect. Same for AQ.

Rinse and repeat.

4. Sort of...

I can see what you're saying. If this is just a bunch of amatures trying to get out of hot water in Abu Ghraib, you won't be seeing another incident. The problem is, I'm not sure that you'll be seeing another incident like this if it was Al Qaida either. My problem is I don't believe it was Al Qaida at all...not their M.O. CIA was too quick to come back with, "Yep, sure enough, it was Al Qaida alright."
