Michael Moore: We Have Footage of Nicholas Berg

From ABC News:

Filmmaker Michael Moore, whose incendiary new documentary lambastes President Bush's handling of the war, said Thursday that he has footage unused in the film of Nicholas Berg, the American civilian later beheaded in Iraq.
The footage, of an interview with Berg, "is approximately 20 minutes long. We are not releasing it to the media," Moore said in a statement. "It is not in the film. We are dealing privately with the family."

I'm not sure what the relevance here is supposed to be, or why the subject is being raised now or even why ABC News thought it was noteworthy enough to put on their site. The only possible interest - outside of that of the family, of course - would be if Nick Berg was interviewed related to his incarceration in Iraq in those critical weeks before he was executed.
