The body of Bonnie Witheral, a 31-year old nurse with the Christian Missionary Alliance. She spent her days tending to the needs of Palestinian refugees in the Ain el-Hilweh refugee camp in Lebanon. She was shot three times in the head. Make no mistake -- our enemies want us dead by virtue of who we are. What we do, what we say, what we think means nothing to them. Thus they murder even those of us who devote themselves to the welfare of their indigent co-religionists. And so when I see inaction, prevaricating, and excuse-making....well, I can't help but think that the Bonnie Witherals past, present and future deserve better.

I hadn't heard or read a thing about this Bonnie Witheral. That is terrible. I wonder how many incidents such as that occur that we never even hear about. That is so sad, trying to help those people and then getting killed for it.
