Hi, all good people,
From what I've read in the press today, it looks likely that Margaret Hassan has been mudered by her captors. I hope to God that this isn't true, but there is apparently a video showing her execution.
This woman worked only for the good of Iraq, and if indeed she has been murdered, I can only weep.

Hi Again Lyn,
This case is really so dreadful for the very reason"s you give,that I wonder,if ,infact she is dead-and lets hope she may not be-that her captors
were brigands rather than religious zealots.

Hi Lyn,
many thanks for the Sunday Herald Article which I thought was very well argued.We have just watched a video of Fahrenheit 9/11 and if you haven"t yet seen it I urge you to because it covers so many and varied aspects of this war in Iraq together with interviews with some of the families who have lost their sons.This together with the immense suffering by the thousands of Iraqi as well as American and British families who have lost their loved ones in Iraq,America and Britain- a number of Black Watch soldiers have recently been killed or injured in the "triangle of death"-can really bring some of the all over horror of it home.It really is such a mess.
Ken Bigley may have been there to make some retirement money but his death was protracted and hideously cruel.He didnt deserve such a fate either.He came from an ordinary working class family in Liverpool.As his courageous mother of 86 said
he was an ordinary working man who wanted to do his best for his family.
Like you Lyn I am thinking Margaret Hassan is probably dead and she seems to have dedicated most of her life to trying to help the suffering people of Iraq.
