How a video of Berg's execution was circulated on the Internet; Questions over why this communications-tower repairman was imprisoned for 13 days in Mosul and why he refused offers of help to get home; Berg's travels in Iraq; His encounters with the U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation; Why Berg's father Michael blames the President George W. Bush Administration for his son's death, while the U.S. military denies it ever had custody of Berg; Possibility that Berg's beheading was carried out by Al Qaeda terrorist Abu Mousab al-Zarqawi.
