Aljazeera has an article about the Berg beheading that purports to find some anomalies courtesy of the doubts of unnamed bloggers:
Even at first glance, internet bloggers were asking on Thursday why Nick Berg was wearing an orange jumpsuit – just like US prisoners wear.
...There are plenty of questions raised concerning the video too. The body is completely motionless even as the knife is brought to bear – not so much as an instinctive wriggle.
More graphically, some claim that cutting the throat's artery would cause a significant amount of blood to gush out. But little emerges and when the head was raised – not a drop of blood is seen to fall. ...
I haven't seen the video, and if I can help it, I won't. But if anyone cares to comment further, the floor is yours.

Posted by: Andy at May 14, 2004 05:47 PMOne of my commentors sent me the link, so I watched it -- and the Pearl video as well. The Pearl was a lot more graphic and hideous. By comparison, the Berg video was relatively bloodless. Someone also observed that the chair in the Berg video was the same white Wal-Mart plastic chair as in an Anu Graib photo. And last -- the men standing behind Berg were awfully tall. That kept bothering me.
