SAN FRANCISCO - A woman who led an effort to help those ravaged by violence in Iraq fell victim to the war herself when a car bomb killed her and two other people, officials said Sunday.

Marla Ruzicka, founder of Campaign for Innocent Victims in Conflict, died Saturday in the blast, which also killed an Iraqi and another foreigner, officials said. She had been in Iraq conducting door-to-door surveys trying to determine the number of civilian casualties in the country.

Ruzicka, 28, of Lakeport, founded CIVIC in 2003 and was instrumental in securing millions of dollars in aid money from the federal government for distribution in Iraq.

I know we've pretty well beaten this one to death, and it doesn't look like Legal Conservative wants to play anymore, but I coudn't help wondering.....

Perhaps we misinterpreted his screen name. Maybe it was really a clever statement of his opposition to all the ILLegal Conservatives now sneaking in across the border.

What do you think? Will the real Legal Conservative please stand up? Or is it beneath your lofty intellect to bandy words with pedestrian minds such as ours?

Seems to be a new troll trend. They hit old threads with seemingly sage and reasoned comments (albeit fatally flawed) flaunting names like "Legal Conservative" and "Moderate Voter", or they spam the freepmail. Either way, they don't stay or reply when challenged.

What's a rabid attack dog supposed to do when the intruder just runs away?

(want meat!!!, GRRRRRRRR!)
