Margaret Hassan from Nabil—

 I worked with Margaret Hassan in Iraq in 91-92, and

last saw her during my visit there in May 2003.  This

is a strong, admirable, critical, and compassionate

person who first went to Iraq over 30 years ago.  I

sincerely hope she weathers this storm, because she's

the wrong target of a kidnapping in every sense of the

word.
