Who killed who? Who's working for who? What do you know?
Here's one reason CENTCOM might want Marla Ruzicka dead, and I'm reasonably sure some distraught individual who thought they were "doing allah's work" was actually a patsy, and blew themself up along with Marla Ruzicka on the instruction of someone who *acted* quite like a muslim radical, or insurgent. The CIA's had people on the inside since Saddam Hussein came to power. Currently, the opspec would be to stir up turmoil and make the insurgency look brutal to the outside world in an attempt to discredit it
Ganci AFB kyrgyzstan... Look it up. I'm tired of posting the link. It's one of the "Osama factories".
There's lots of that kind of thing going on in a number of places around the globe. Ask any of 'em if they care who they kill.
Aid worker uncovered America's secret tally of Iraqi civilian deaths:
A week before she was killed by a suicide bomber, humanitarian worker Marla Ruzicka forced military commanders to admit they did keep records of Iraqi civilians killed by US forces. http://informationclearinghouse.info/article8598.htm
And it's nice to know that you've met a brown haired green eyed Iraqi... What's your point? Besides an attempt at practicing the spelling of the word "racialist".
