Question on Berg...

XXXPhoto · 05-14-2004

a small comment/question as I'm wondering if anyone else has information on it...

I've seen the (IMO misleading) phrase, "there to help Iraqis" and "there to rebuild
the infrastructure" several times in almost every news story. However, no details
are offered that he actually ever 'did' any "work". The only references I have seen at
all was report that he was coming home cause couldn't find any work on his second trip.

I find it odd too that while he was there from Dec03-Feb04, no mention was made
of anything he actually did during that time period either. Said he 'wanted' to help
rebuild infrastructure... but again, no mention of him doing anything specific. You'd
think somewhere in those daily emails home he would have mentioned if he'd found
work or talked about a project he was part of... and that if he had, parents would
have mentioned it as concrete examples of son's accomplishments...

News stories tell how he "...at one point teaching villagers in Ghana how to make
bricks." and "...helped set up electronics equipment at the Republican National Convention
in Philadelphia in 2000." So where is the info on him 'rebuilding the infrastructure' of Iraq?
