Questions Remain in Berg Case

The congressman said Michael Berg questioned if his son, who never was charged with any wrongdoing, was given the basic rights and due process that an American citizen should expect."There is no indication that he was given any of those rights at this point," said Gerlach.
There is no evidence that Nicholas Berg was given a chance to consult an attorney or to make a telephone call while he was in custody, said Gerlach.
Although the congressman said he was "not prepared to fault the FBI yet," he said he "wants to explore that."
