The Guardian reports this story here:

I am intrigued by the parents reaction:

"I think a lot of people are fed up with the lack of civil rights this thing [the war] has caused," Mr Berg added. "I don't think this administration is committed to democracy."

..and puzzled why Berg ended up in gaol, and why his parents needed to instigate proceedings to get him out because they felt he was being "held illegally".

I am not trying to imply anything at all ... it's just that it looks like there is more to the story.

Here are some reports from a radio station is Pennsylvania:

It is easy to be led into some sort of conspiracy theory, but perhaps he was detained by the Iraqi Police for a while, they held him while the US officials investigated, then he was released (apparantly in the orange prison gear) - possibly just dumped - and then captured by these terrorists. I'm not inclined to believe a conspiracy, but I am inclined to believe the US officials, whoever they were, probably acted irresponsibly by not making sure he was safely escorted out of the country or to a hotel and properly dressed.
