berg's execution a psyops job?

following up on jughead's post—ok, so, how suspicious is it that,
  1. berg was in u.s. custody in iraq a week before his death and the u.s. denies it
  2. the beheading is claimed to be in response to the torture but was filmed two weeks before the torture story broke (ever seen wag the dog?)
  3. the fbi interrogated berg soon after 9/11 because one of the alleged terrorists had used berg's e-mail account to send communications
  4. berg's father is a major player in international a.n.s.w.e.r., the worker's world party's anti-war goup
i know, i know, slippery slope, but if this stuff means anything when put together, berg's sort of the perfect target for a psyops job: if he was aiding terrorists, instead of painting him that way (like another john walker lindh), they can paint him as proud and concerned progressive jew who was ruthlessly slaughtered by (ahem, cia operatives posing as) vicious terrorists and, at the same time, off him to meet their own ends. then when the story about the torture breaks — "but look at what animals these people are!" and all the outrage shifts.

last night this fucking girl i know actually compared the tortures to college fraternity hazings and said it paled in comparison to the beheading.

ah this great gullible nation... nice chairs by the way. (here's a backup of that link, in case it goes down.) some have claimed the orange suit and wallpaper in the berg video are the same used in abu ghraib prison as well.
