British CARE hostage killed

[Cowperson]

Another hostage being killed in Iraq probably doesn't merit a new thread except this is Margaret Hassan, who called Iraq home for about 30 years, was in charge of CARE in that country and whom Iraqi's themselves marched in the streets in support of when she was kidnapped.

Even some terror organizations called for her release.

Al-Jazeera is in possession of a videotape showing her being killed.

This is horrible. She was such a nice caring lady who only wanted to help others. RIP Margaret, you will be missed

So they kill an iraqi citizen that was against the war and tried to help less fortunate iraqi's. Hopefully this news really hits the islamic middle east community. Al Qaeda doesn't care to protect Iraq from the U.S they only want to control it themselves.

I think we all probably feel that way a little bit.

A few weeks ago there were some hints that Iraqis were getting tired of these animals and were fighting back. It doesn't seem to have taken off. Hopefully this poor woman's death will inspire some people to turn on the fanatics and if they don't outright kill them, at least stop supporting them.

Yeah, one death always makes the other a little easier to handle. An age-old concept it seems.

Welcome to war, it isn't pretty and people die

Including Zarqawi himself.
