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.

I thought you were joking at first. Name another human rights group that has an anonymous "Chairman."
It doesn't work that way. Human rights monitors depend upon publicity for their power. You can't do that hiding under your bed.
BTW, this fellow has talked to the media before, as noted in the article, about election results. And he has let it be known where he lectures.
Also, in case you missed it, Hammurabi is often described as a Sunni organization. I don't think he would have much to worry about, at least in Haditha.
Lastly, his co-member, Thabet, hasn't been shy at all about having his picture taken.
