I read about her on foxnews.com this morning, as well as on another news site (reuters perhaps? )
Anyway, what drew me to the story was the headline describing her as a "martyr" ... I initially wondered if she had put on a set of DuPont undies and blew something up ... then I realized that "martyr" is SOOO much nicer to say about someone than "fatally clumsy".
No matter how she actually died, it's a shame, shouldn't have happened, etc. etc. ... but she's the one that was fucking around in front of the bulldozer. I can't bring myself to 1) care or 2) see what statement against the war (or any war) that she really made in death.
I knew someone who'd gone to the middle east on one fo these "peace witness" missions. Stupid, IMHO, but I suppose it has just that much more cachet than spending the same money to go as a plain old tourist to somewhere ...
If folks are going to do crap like that, why don't they try "peace witnessing" in a crack neighborhood near home?
