Injured Iraqis confer with Marla Ruzicka in Baghdad. She and dozens of volunteers fanned out across Iraq to gauge the extent of civilian deaths and injuries as a result of the war.

[Old Sarge]

Just great - another Leftist martyr.

[doug from upland]

God rest her soul. She was trying to give comfort to others.

[struggle]

Killed surveying civilian deaths.

There has to be some irony in there somewhere.

[beyond the sea]

Remember Rachel Corrie -- an American nonviolent human rights protestor.

[Our man in washington]

Any death is a tragedy, but...

Was she hoping the terrorists would notice she was a liberal and thereby not kill her?

[jimboster]

Talk about irony.

[Wheens]

Probably less painful way to go than being squished by a bulldozer.

[Puppage]

[Spktyr]

Eh... I actually have some sympathy in this case - the deceased wasn't doing something quite as stupid as standing in front of a bulldozer. And technically, she was ministering to others...

[Wormwood]

Probably less painful way to go than being squished by a bulldozer.

Less funny, at any rate.

I could barely get out a chuckle, myself.

[Machkas]

God rest her soul. She was trying to give comfort to others.

Hope that was the case, and if so you're right. But it sounds more like she was looking for evidence to blast the US.

[bronxboy]

I agree. At least this lib put her actions were her mouth was.

[cripplecreek]

"It's a terrible tragedy and a tragic irony that somebody who devoted her life to helping the victims of war would herself become a victim of war," said Medea Benjamin,"



Uh well genius, she wasn't a victim of war she was the victim of a terrorist.

[tet68]

Ask not for whom the bell tolls..........

[ChadGore]

Thoughts and prayers to her family and loved ones.

[Southack]

It's not what you think. She was working for Medea Benjamin, the American Communist who penned the pro-Castro Cuban Revolution book as well as who was caught giving several hundred thousand Dollars to the insurgency in Falluja.

Heck, she was probably *inside* the suicide car bomb, or else outside it nagging the Mujis to get the right wiring.

[philz]

She was, in fac,t a humanitarian. Liberal or not, she was an American. God rest her soul.

[AQGeiger]

She was trying to give comfort to others.

Yeah, the terrorists. No other possibility if she spent 10 years working for Medea Benjamin. Nice pink head scarf she has.
