I'm sure they weren't deliberately targeting me because of the job I do. If they were, it's an own goal, because they knocked out almost the only western broadcaster who bothers to explain what al-Qaida's complaints are, what their motivation is, so taking me off the air for nearly a year would be a pretty stupid thing to do."

Sounds to me like Al Qaeda didn't do a good job in target planning. Otherwise, they would have let this aider and abettor alone.

It was Bush's fault!

I see it more as a classic case of unreality. This poor sot thinks like a Brit colonialist, not an Arab. He hasn't come to grips with the fact that they don't give a damn about his values.

It seems not one of you have a clue what you are talking about. Not one of you know anything about the man, or what he believes yet you are quick to talk nonsense.

I would have expected a little compassion for a man who was shot for just doing his job. But you seem to think an innocent deserved to be shot for merely reporting the news.
