家族は息子の死が政治的に利用されたと怒っている:仕組まれたという状況証拠 AP
地元家族は、息子が処刑されていたのを既に知らされていたようで、これが公にされたくないと思っていたようです。
特に父親のマイケル・バーグ氏はブッシュ政権に批判的で、暗にこの報道は政治的に利用されていると感じているように読めます。
犠牲者のニック・バーグ氏はイラクのアンテナなどの通信インフラの回復に貢献しようと、ビジネスとしてイラク入りしていたようですが、仕事を終えて帰ろうとしたところ、「イラク警察」に検問で捕まって「米軍に2週間ばかり」拘留されていたようです。この時に軍側は弁護士など外部との連絡を取ることを許さなかったとして4月5日の時点で連邦裁判所に(米軍相手に)起訴を起こしています。また、連絡を断ったのは4月9日とのこと。
このような拘留がなければ、息子は(捕虜虐待報道などによる)治安悪化の前に帰国できたかもしれないと、ブッシュを批判もしています。また行方不明期間にアメリカ政府は家族に情報提供の協力もしなかったと母親も怒っています。
この事件は、またしてもスケープゴートを創作したアメリカのプロパガンダのようです。
勘ぐれば、政府に反抗的な家族への見せしめという側面もあるかもしれません。
そして、米軍>モサドなどの実行部隊>アルカイーダというお決まりの構造が見えます。

Pa. family angry with American government over son's brutal death

WEST CHESTER, Pa. (AP) ム The family of an American civilian shown beheaded on an Islamic militant Web site huddled in in tears Tuesday after learning of the existence of the graphic videotape.
From Our Advertiser
The video showed Nick Berg, 26, in a staged execution carried out by an al-Qaida affiliated group. The video said the killing was to avenge the abuse of Iraqi prisoners by American soldiers.
"My name is Nick Berg, my father's name is Michael, my mother's name is Suzanne," the man said on the video before being killed. "I have a brother and sister, David and Sara. I live in ... Philadelphia."
Berg's family said U.S. State Department officials on Monday had told them Berg was decapitated. The family, though, had wanted that information to remain private.
When told about news of the Web site Nick Berg's father, brother and sister, collapsed to the ground in a tearful hug in their front yard.
"I knew he was decapitated before," said the father, Michael Berg. "That manner is preferable to a long and torturous death. But I didn't want it to become public."
Michael Berg lashed out at the U.S. military and Bush administration, saying his son might still be alive had he not been detained by U.S. officials in Iraq without being charged and without access to a lawyer.
Nick Berg, a small telecommunications business owner, spoke to his parents on March 24 and told them he would return home on March 30. But Berg was detained by Iraqi police at a checkpoint in Mosul on March 24. He was turned over to U.S. officials and detained for 13 days.
His father, Michael, said his son wasn't allowed to make phone calls or contact a lawyer.
FBI agents visited Berg's parents in West Chester on March 31 and told the family they were trying to confirm their son's identity. On April 5, the Bergs filed suit in federal court in Philadelphia, contending that their son was being held illegally by the U.S. military. The next day Berg was released. He told his parents he hadn't been mistreated.
Michael Berg said he blamed the U.S. government for creating circumstances that led to his son's death. He said if his son hadn't been detained for so long, he might have been able to leave the country before the violence worsened.
"I think a lot of people are fed up with the lack of civil rights this thing has caused," he said. "I don't think this administration is committed to democracy."
The Bergs last heard from their son April 9, when he said he would come home by way of Jordan.
Berg had traveled several times to Third World countries to help spread technology, his family said. He had previously traveled to Kenya and Ghana, where they said he had purchased a $900 brick-making press for a poor village, the family said.
Berg's mother, Suzanne Berg, said her son was in Iraq to help rebuild communication antennas.
"He had this idea that he could help rebuild the infrastructure," she said.
Michael Berg described himself as fervently anti-war, but said his son disagreed with him.
"He was a Bush supporter," Berg said. "He looked at it as bringing democracy to a country that didn't have it."
Suzanne Berg said she was told her son's body would be transported to Kuwait and then to Dover, Del. She said the family had been trying for weeks to learn where their son was but that federal officials had not been helpful.
"I went through this with them for weeks," she said. "I basically ended up doing most of the investigating myself."
