Another Lie Infinity Yesterday, Dan Senor, spokespuppet for the CPA denied that Nick Berg was ever in the custody of American forces. His family said he was. Surprise, apparently the family was being truthful, and the Bush Administration minions lying again. From the Associated Press.

To back its claims that Berg was in U.S. custody, the family showed The Associated Press an April 1 e-mail from Beth A. Payne, the U.S. consular officer in Iraq. "I have confirmed that your son, Nick, is being detained by the U.S. military in Mosul. He is safe. He was picked up approximately one week ago. We will try to obtain additional information regarding his detention and a contact person you can communicate with directly," the e-mail said. In two e-mails later that day, Payne wrote that she was still trying to find a local contact for the family. Berg's brother, David Berg, called on the government to come clean about its contacts with the slain American before he died. The family has blamed the government for keeping him in custody for too long while anti-American violence escalated in Iraq.
