Could you imagine what would happen if America televised the brutal execution of an innocent Iraqi woman? I cant believe there is no outrage over this...just sick.

USA kills a lot of people. Only, they don't have the balls to put it on TV.

Once in a while, something like the latest alleged war crime/certain act of depravity gets smuggled out.

Somehow, it's still only the Muslims that are the sick ones. Talk about hypocrisy.

BAGHDAD (Reuters) - Margaret Hassan, a British aid worker kidnapped in Baghdad a month ago, has probably been killed, her Iraqi husband and British diplomats said on Tuesday after viewing a video apparently showing her being shot.


"I have been told that there is a video of Margaret which appears to show her murder," Tahsin Hassan told Reuters in Baghdad, adding he was not entirely sure of its authenticity.


"There is a tape that appears to show Margaret's murder," an official at the British embassy in Baghdad told Reuters, adding that it was "probably genuine."


Al Jazeera television said it had received a video tape which appeared to show a gunman shooting her.


Tahsin Hassan appealed to the kidnappers to return his wife's body for burial if indeed they had killed her.


"I want to know if she is alive or dead. If she's dead I want to know where she is so I can bury her in peace," he said, stressing her dedication to her adoptive land.


"Margaret lived with me for more than 30 years in Iraq (news - web sites) and dedicated her life to serving the Iraqi people."


Dublin-born Margaret Hassan, who has joint British and Iraqi nationality, was seized on Oct. 19 while on her way to work at Care International, for which she was Iraq country director.


Hassan had appeared in video tapes released by her unknown captors calling on the British government to withdraw its troops from Iraq. At one stage, her captors threatened to hand her over to a group led by al Qaeda ally Abu Musab al-Zarqawi if Britain did not pull out its troops within 48 hours.


But earlier this month, Zarqawi's group posted a message on an Islamic Web site urging Hassan's captors to free her unless she were proven to be a spy.


It remained unclear who had been holding the aid worker most recently.


Few foreign women have been taken hostage in Iraq. Last month, Zarqawi's group beheaded British engineer Kenneth Bigley after London refused to withdraw its forces.


Militants have waged a campaign of kidnappings and killings to try to force U.S.-led troops and foreigners to leave Iraq. More than 35 foreign hostages have been killed.

So much for his assessment.

She was the wife of an Iraqi too. Had spent a great deal of her life trying to help Iraqi's. Obviously she had a great deal of respect for the culture...maybe they murdered her because she didn't speak the language?

I guess the Chechen children didn't count either.
