Beheading in Iraq

The US government has very clearly stated that they never had Berg in custody before he was beheaded. They said the Iraqi police had him in custody and that US officials checked on him once or twice to make sure he was OK. This is in direct contrast to what the family has said.

Well now, the family is producing e-mails that were sent to them at the time, by US officials stating that Berg was in US custody.

It's getting so you need to just assume that when the US governemnt speaks, it is lying. It's too bad. I'd like to be able believe my government.
