Boy, did I screw that headline up!

Correction: "Body found in Iraq not that of kidnapped aid worker"

It could not be immediately identified but U.S. officials said they believed it was that of a Western woman.

Believed ??? Based on what? Arm pits were shaved?

What exactly was the cause of death? Gun shot to the head, or something else?

Probably some jihaddist getting an early start on his 27 virgins and decided to get rid any witnesses.

She knew her kidnappers. Those murdering b**tards can't afford for her to live.

"Hassan -- a 59-year-old British citizen born in Ireland -- was abducted in Baghdad on Oct. 19..."

Didn't she have dual citizenship, Iraqi and British?

Didn't want to point out their killing their own over there, maybe?

I suppose this would be considered by some as a terrible thing to think but has anyone ever considered that Margaret is still alive and maybe had a part in her own kidnapping? From what I have read there has been no ransom demand and a few other little oddities that seem out of place. If she is in sympathy with the terrorists and is a British citizen for all we know she could be a "true believer" and is doing her little bit to help the cause. It could be an effort to erode support back in Britain. I know I am being cynical. Maybe it's from reading too much news. Just a thought. Flame away.
