    Linda Norgrove was killed by Yanks

    It's thought. Discovered after a 'review' 48 hours later. Very sad. Ordinarily I might say a rescue attempt was worth the effort, as paying a ransom for one may be a death penalty for dozens more, but as a captive I think I might rather take my chances with sunbaked religious zealots than with a Yank rescue attempt.

    Brave girl. I wouldn't be surprised if being an aid worker was more dangerous than serving out there. The former are being knocked off so fast they almost need a charity of their own.

    They'd shoot her or cut her head off soon after their demands are not met.

    Better die in battle than being slaughtered like a sheep.

    The real question is WTF was she doing in warzone like that?
