Gave the guy his password? WTF? I have no problem sending an email for someone. Giving them my password? No way in hell.

That's the biggest crock I've heard in a while. I might allow someone to use my laptop, but they best have their own email address. And, I guess we are to assume Berg didn't bother to read the mail sent from his box? BS, BS, BS.

Obvious lies. Are we not internet nerds? Do we not know how this shiat works? Are we not Devo?

*cough*CIA*cough*.

and another thread goes to ()

I haven't taken my tinfoil hat off.

OK, well, the guy was either a terrorist or a spook. Definitely not a tourist.

Anyone wanna drop by Langley and see if there's been a new star added lately?

I believe it. And Bush is a great president, and the invasion of Iraq was justified, there is no global warming...

hmmm, filters won't allow infinity sign.

7 posts already and we have a filter victim and fubar html. Where's that bingo card?

fiver5 I took it :P

/threadjack over.

just read the article.

I call shenanegans!

I liked the part in the article where the Tooth Fairy and Easter Bunny do a little jig to amuse Santa Clause.

i knew there would be some reasonable explanation for this that offers an open and shut case and gives the conspiracy folks absolutely no opening to question it.

*sigh*

Seriously, I mean, who gives out their password? And apparently the Al-Queda guys were actually using his email, and he didn't notice?

For one thing, if I'm running a super-secret terrorist cell, I don't think using other people's email is going to make my top 10 list of ways to stay covert and secret.

Maybe this is just a garbled explanation, but as it's explained, that dog won't hunt.

Has anyone confirmed if he was already dead in the video before the neck cutting began? I'm still curious about that but don't want to watch the video again.

That's a very good point, I hadn't considered that. Perhaps he was a spook.

WTF. "Some terrorist guys sat down next to me so I gave them my password to my email account?" Something is being hidden here. Maybe D_I_A (see earlier thread, TFers) is onto something...

Spin_Doc I don't know if he was dead when the cutting began (they zoomed in and the quality was terrible - possibly a way to cut into a second scene) However, when they zoomed out for the beheading scene, he was dead and had been for a while (no spurting, not enough blood to be a live beheading, no blood on the cutters arms and body).

I know coincidences exist... but this would just be too much to believe.

I can't tell if this is supposed to be a joke or not.

More tin foil hat fodder!

I was going to add my thoughts to this thread but, after reading everyone else's it would just be redundant.

I also call shenanigans!

It may be a coincidence if the password was something popular and by chance they were the same.

/I don't use e-mail

what a crock of shiat....no way this is a coincedence. if it smells like shiat, looks like shiat, taste like shiat, its shiat!

This coffe tastes like shiat!

It is shiat Austin!

/quietly picks up phone, dials broker, orders large purchase of Alcoa stock

Why would Al Quada fake his beheading?

Looked "live" to me... no reason for it not to be...

I bet he gave out his credit card numbers and his checking account numbers a lot too.

This makes Coincidence Panda very sad.

It's not jokes, it's Rense.com!

At one point during the bus ride, Berg said, the man sitting next to his son asked if he could use Nick's laptop computer.

"It turned out this guy was a terrorist and that he, you know, used my son's e-mail, amongst many other people's e-mail who he did the same thing to," Berg said.

Government sources said Berg gave the man his password, which was later used by Moussaoui, the sources said.


I simply cannot imagine anyone--especially someone that is involved in what you could consider a tech industry--just handing over their laptop to a stranger on a friggin' BUS.

This set of coincidences is starting to peg my bullshiat meter. Somehow I doubt it is simply a coincidence that Moussaoui had Berg's e-mail password.

C'mon! Who among us hasn't lent his email account to a stranger on a bus who later turned out to be a terrorist?

Ackbar did it.

It's an answer that will satisfy 80% of America, which I guess is all that matters.

What a for giving a total stranger your password.

OK, I'm finally convinced this is a crock.

I never have agreed with tin foil, but this one is too obvious.

Who the hell gives their password away?

/Maybe it's the "I'd have to be pretty stupid to do that" excuse?

sorry, i'm not buying it cia. berg was either mossad or cia working for al qaeda- which are all really the same entity.

Fractured Fairytale. If you ask me.

How did his dad know his son gave his password to an unknown terrorist? What kind of guy takes a bus ride and then tells his dad every little detail about it?

I would also like to join in the "shenanigans" chorus. You don't just give out your password to people.

And if anyone here thinks otherwise, I have a wad of cash that's begging to be stolen, so I need someplace safe for it. If you guys could just give me your bank account numbers, so I can deposit it there until I need it.

Well obviously there's more to this story that we don't know, but I highly doubt that he was some sort of CIA operative or something. My guess is that the terrorist figured out what his password was while he was using his computer, and his dad just assumed that his son had given it away, rather than having it stolen. Sure it seems like a stretch, but not as much of a stretch as claims of super-secret CIA stuff.

I guess terrorists haven't learned about Hotmail.

When I was a kid, we went to Rehoboth Beach in Delaware. There had been a tiny article about a burglary at a hotel I'd never heard of called the Watergate. Daddy met a CIA agent at a local ginmill. They proceeded to get plastered together. The CIA dude said, "Watch this Watergate burglary, it's gonna get exciting." The rest is history. I don't trust anything our government does anymore.

This is getting to be re-god-damn-diculous.

Unfortunately, I think that we will never know the real truth on this one.

neverending nightmare gets weirder by the day.

OK that explains the AOL password thing. Now what's the explanation for a Jew to have the Koran and anti-semitic books in his posession?

Either:

a) the tinfoil crew is correct

b) this boy was a whole pile of stupid

My bet's on A.

This whole thing stinks. I don't know anyone who would give their password to a total stranger. Was he a spook? Most likely. How many people would have gone over to iraq on their own, at this point in time. I think His father knew what was going on as well, He was a teacher in my high scool and seemed to have it together
