(Reuters) Video appears to show killing of Iraq aid worker Margaret Hassan, husband says.
Something tells me we're only seeing the tip of the iceberg on this one. If Margaret Hassan really was murdered, then God rest her soul.
But I'm still skeptical. This whole situation doesn't pass the smell test for me.
What are the other options?
Let's check the DU web.
Serial killers aren't bad people either. They are just differently ethicised.
So did the Dutch.
AP is reporting that she was blindfolded and shot in the head by a masked gunman.

Eternal rest grant unto her, O Lord.
You must have been off doing other things.

Their fixation is really disgusting!
That's a great graphic!
I read it and got the same impression as Slipper. I think the author WAS glad that a " COMMIE " got killed. He is guilty of bad timing at least and should own up to it. His defense was thin and unconvincing.
FYI She wasn't beheaded. She was shot in the head with a pistol.
I wonder if that lunatic that was crying over the dead terrorist is shedding any tears for this woman murdered by his good buddies (the terrorists)?
No there's no surprise element, I'm afraid. Nomadic arabs constantly raided one another's caravans to rob and kill. Things haven't changed THAT much! People are for
u s i n g, and women are more expendable than others. (In Afghanistan they were not even given access to education or medical care. In "modern" Saudi they are agitating for permission to drive cars.)
But one has to admire the determination and inestimable courage of this group of Jihadis. They took on and overpowered a lone, defenceless middle-aged woman!
That they could have murdered one who had spent thirty years working to better their situation (even with Saddam around!)speaks volumes about these people. Totally merciless. Unresponsive to any pleas from whatever quarter. Yet one of THEIR fellow-travellers gets bulleted by a US soldier and the world is up in arms!
Since the insurgent concerned was pretending to be dead, he might well have been intending to shoot soldiers when he thought the opportunity presented itself.
On one side you become a "martyr". On the other you become a criminal!
Top story tonite on MSM with extensive coverage and footage. Right?
Will nbcabccbs show that video tonight?
Or will we be subjected to more video of our soldiers doing their jobs killing the bad guys, but now being damned once again by the quisling media?
To the mass media : Mrs. Hassan spent HALF OF HER LIFE GETTING FOOD AND MEDICINE TO IRAQIS.
THE PEOPLE SHE HELPED, THE PEOPLE WE FREED FROM THE TYRANNY THAT MADE HER JOB NECESSARY, ARE NOT THE ONES WHO KILLED HER. IF NOT FOR THE BLOOD SOAKED DEMONSPAWN YOU PEOPLE STILL DEFEND, WE WOULDN'T BE IN IRAQ, SHE'D HAVE GONE ELSEWHERE TO DO WHAT SHE HOPED WERE GOOD DEEDS AND SHE MIGHT NOT BE DEAD.
WE aren't, the lunatic fringe left is, because they think they have better issues but just haven't made them palatable enough to the public yet.
VERY good point.
Will the MSM laud this as being "more humane"?
