[quote="Xorcist [USA]":45c40]"Possible video inconsistencies
The video contains some apparent inconsistencies which suggest that it may have been been edited extensively by parties unknown. Technical problems in the film may conceal significant facts. The sound is out of sequence with the image, indicating that it may have been recorded separately. The time-stamp display indicates that several edits have been made. A significant discontinuity (over 11 hours) in the video's time-stamp from 2:44:12 to 13:45:47 occurs just after the killing begins. While the video is of poor quality, the sequences showing the beheading after the time jump appear to show very little arterial bleeding associated with the removal of the head, indicating that this act may very likely have been performed post-mortem.
An article on the english edition of the Al Jazeera website outlines further inconsistencies with the video, its distribution/dissemination and the circumstances surrounding Berg's death. Among these are
the motionlessness of the body as Berg is being beheaded
the access to the video available to mainstream news outlets such as Fox News, CNN, and the BBC within an hour after the story broke while Al Jazeera for instance, was unable to download the video only 30 min afterwards
why a private Jewish American citizen would choose to wander around Iraq by himself
why Berg was really arrested and detained by Iraqi police, with the full knowledge of the FBI
the disputed origin of the killer's accent
the mystery as to why al-Zarqawi would disguise his identity after verbally taking credit for the killing when his face is already well known"
Brings up some interesting questions.

The point is that he was beheaded because his body was found by an american patrol.
