Even though she's a left-winger, she's also a United States citizen. She was doing a job. I don't like her politics, but I'm still happy she's alive. And I don't see any basis for the more lurid conspiracy theories here.
When defense contractors were killed in Iraq in 2004, I was stunned at the hostility of left-wing blogs. Their reaction to the murders hardly seemed human. I don't like seeing us show anything like the same hostility to someone merely for being on the left -- we can do better.
Well stated. My feelings exactly.
