Best theory I've heard was here. That Margret Hassan, having worked in Iraq for 30 years in the aid field knew all about the oil for food scam and was hushed up, the impression that it was an islamist kidnapping was just an entirely believeable cover.

This article and Jonah Goldberg's current piece work together nicely:

The Terrorists kill Dutch film-makers because they are Libertarian atheists.
The Terrorists want to kill Americans because we are Christians.
The Terrorists wanted to kill Margaret Hassan because she was a humanitarian who wanted to help poor Iraqis.

Conclusion: The terrorists are murderous thugs who are on a quest to kill everyone on the planet who is not helping in their quest to kill everyone who is not helping them in their quest.

But what could Kofi and his Islamic terrorist friends do?
It's not like there was a black box which Emperor-of-Terrorists Kofi could hide in his UN office.

What kind of justification can they give for NEVER TALKING about the MURDER of Margaret Hassan, the Iraqi director of CARE International, a humanitarian group providing aid? On any news outlet the Middle East would hear. Never once condemned our showed the Tape of her ghastly murder on Al Jazeera. Makes you want to say HMMM!

Another opportunity to use my favorite passage from Scharansky's new book.

"Over the years, I have come to understand a critical difference between the world of fear and the world of freedom. In the former, the primary challenge is finding the inner strength to confront evil. In the latter, the primary challenge is finding the moral clarity to see evil."

There are those who have tried to blame this event (totally or partially) on the U.S.A. They lack moral clarity.

Juxtapose CARE and the jihadis vs. CAIR and the American people.
