UPDATE - THE CIA KILLED NICK BERG! PART 2
If one were of a certain mind set, the wheels could spin like this:
1. The CIA killed Nick Berg to distract attention from the prison abuse scandal.
2. But now the clumsy conspiracy is unraveling, so more sensational stories must appear to make everyone stop pursuing the CKNB angle:
3. The nonwedding party nonmassacre.
4. Mr. Chalabi (previously the George Washington presumptive of the new Iraq, now the Benedict Arnold).
5. The president take a dive from his bicycle.
6. In fact, the real story could be the continuing release of prisoners/possible abuse victims/potential witnesses of/to the prison abuse. Were the 750+ released since this story broke all detained in error? Shouldn't that call for some sort of investigation? If not, why are they being released? Would we release this many insurgents just to get some good PR?
So, either we 'accidentally' detained/imprisioned over 750 people, or we released 750+ people actively working against us in order to manage the weekly news cycle. Not very encouraging either way.

THE CIA KILLED NICK BERG! - some say
(Roll over, Vince Foster)
"Of course," said JA. "Didn't you notice the convenient timing? A soon as that came out, everybody stopped talking about the prison abuse."
That was Friday night. Idle chatter over a few drinks. I'm not much of a conspiracy person myself, but....
On Monday I found this site. Interesting stuff. But not exactly a mainstream news source. I hadn't heard of it before. It was a little hysterical, unprofessional (typos), but still....
On Tuesday afternoon, Mark Ames ran this in the New York Press. I know the NYPress.com isn't NYT.com, but it's not Joe's conspiraciesrus blog either.
Today, a little of this conjecture entered the mainstream, albeit on tiptoes, in this short entry (5/19 - 5 paragraphs down) in TPM.
If more questions come out and this issue doesn't go away naturally, I guess there will have to be another "event" so spectacular that everyone forgets to pursue this one.
At least, I would think that, if I were one of those people who ...thought that way.
