I don't think that's a prison jumpsuit

The sleeves are billowing and of a lighter fabric.

Look at this correctional manufacturer's orange uniform.

1. That's what I said. It looks like Muslim garb that happens to be orange

It's no use arguing with alot of these people. They instantly scapegoat the US government and Israel for every evil act that happens almost, and usually intantaneously before really any evidence of there charge is even possible to be available.

They're freaking fundamentalists of a black and white ideology. It's sad.

4. I would appreciate it if you edited out your implication of me being a

freeper.

I never said it was impossible that we wasn't killed by terrorists I said it was unlikely and that the whole instant guilt in so many peoples minds placed upon, scapegoated to, the US government and Israel sickened me and this was just a part of it.

Reuters reported it was "reminiscent" of. But I'd really like for someone to find me a picture of the Guantanamo uniforms that drape at the sleeves like that. It was far more of an eastern Tunic looking outfit than a jumpsuit

2. I agree

I have a bright orange jumpsuit of the same type used at LA county jail.
(different department, same supplier)

Pretty thick material.

It doesn't drape like the one Berg is wearing.

8. Picture comparison

This photo is from Gitmo

This is photo is of Nick Berg from the video

Could be similar but Berg's outfit is very shiny and seems a bit looser on his body.

10. Not only similar, but almost identical right down...

to the way the neckline is cut, patterned and sewn, but the arm sleeves are much more billowing and the material seems more satiny in the Berg photo. Other than those discrepancies, the similarities are very striking.

12. reuters thinks so too

"Berg's orange overalls were reminiscent of those worn by al Qaeda suspects held by U.S. troops at Guantanamo Bay in Cuba"

13. Not sure about the neckline....

...from the angle of that photo it is difficult to tell

Here's another

Still couldn't get a good look at the front of the outfit though.
