I'll make this easy for certain members:
I'm looking for expressions of outrage at this act that are at least on a par with those having to do with the Iraqi prisoners, for which acts I will express my loathing now (I hadn't previously, for reasons many of you are aware of).
I'm sure it will be argued that this fellow "asked for it" by having the temerity to partake in the rebuilding of Iraqi infrastructure (I say this as that is how he is described in media reports; if he was one of the contract security people, I imagine that would/will be published), and had, unless subsequent reports change, the status of a non-combatant.
I sincerely hope this is not seen as the "tit" to our "tat", but it might be viewed that way by some; I honestly can't say.
Please word any "ifs", "ands", "buts", or any other caveats very carefully.
