On NPR this afternoon: an interview with an Iraqi woman who worked |

Seems he 18 year old son was kidnapped, probably because she worked for the US, and her husband paid a ransom to get him back.

|
of so many.
"But we don't do body counts."
How disrespectful.
As a 13th generational american on my mum's side, I'm deeply ashamed as well.
These are human beings.
Which is more than I can say for any in this gross misadministration.
