Nope, it is a legitimate question. Why will he not show his face? #46 on the Iraqi Most Wanted List was an Al-Mashhadani. Wonder if they are related?
It's a legitimate question, of course! But the statement implied that it's suspicious for a human-rights monitor to remain anonymous. Anyone who follows the world scene knows that many thugs don't like "human-rights monitors"...and I'm not implying the Marines would be the baddies.
Do I think that's why he's mysterious? No... I think that he's a baddie himself. My comment was only that it's not odd, nor does it indicate guilt, that he's anonymous.
