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.
Good point. Her kidnapping (so far) has been different from others, since she has not been released.
I've wondered, myself, why she is the only foreign-born female aid worker who was not freed.
From: Britain: Body Isn't Kidnapped Aid Worker
Hassan was among nine foreign women hostages abducted in Iraq this year. Eight, including two Italian aid workers and Polish-born Teresa Borcz Khalifa, have been released.
Maybe her kidnapping was part of a semi-elaborate scheme to cover-up her ordered assassination.
Maybe "important" people don't want her to be alive to testify to the deprivations Iraqi children continued to suffer at the very time the UN's oil-for-food program was supposed to be helping them.
Her testimony could whip up some powerfully angry anti-UN feelings.
Maybe she was marked for gang-style execution, but someone realized her execution could be camouflaged among all the other kidnappings.
