Can't these guys ever get their stories straight? Newsday has emails from the State Department's Beth A. Payne to the Bergs:

I have been able to confirm that your son is being detained by the U.S. military. I am attempting to identify a person with the U.S. military or FBI here in Iraq who you can contact directly with your questions.
(via Newsday)

So RNC/CPA flak Dan Senor was lying (surprise!) when he said that US forces didn't have Nick Berg in custody.

And can someone tell me what the FBI is doing over in Iraq? Don't we have enough spooks over there with the CIA, military intelligence, the contractors, and whatever the CPA has going, not to mention the Iraqis? Sheesh...

And as alert reader Bryan notes, isn't it funny that, if whoever had Berg thought he was a spy, that they would just release him? Wouldn't it make more sense to release Berg, then follow him to see who he contacted? If so, where did Nick Berg go, and who did he contact?
