Was the beheading video of Nick Berg fake?

Question

that video of the kid in iraq being decapitated. was it ever proven to be fake?

Answer 1

About as fake as the torture of detainees in Guantanamo.

Answer 2

The video broadcast of the Nick Berg and his beheading has never been proven to be "real" or "fake".

Nick Berg's decapitated body was found on a "road"; but, whether his decapitation was the broadcast version or not may never be known.

I have viewed the video, and I can tell you that if I suspected I was going to be "beheaded", I would not have been sitting complacently waiting for my head to be cut off. I would have been writhing, squirming, trying to get away. The person in the video sat quietly waiting for his execution.

There are many Iraqis who have blown themselves up for their "cause". I suspect there would be one who would sacrifice his head for the "cause".

I think Nick Berg was killed long before the video that was released to the world.

Answer 3

Considering Mr. Berg's head and body were found, unattached, a few days later would seem to give credence to the authenticity of the video.
