Marla Ruzicka?

Whoa. Go to Black Flag Cafe and read up. CNN and Time had obits for her.

From what I have seen only 1 or 2 conservative-type writers are raising questions about Ruzicka thus far.

However, as you are I am a bit curious about this story. Maybe she was deep cover NSA or CIA? Somehow it doesn't seem to add up.

I'm surprised these weasels haven't yet gone after the recently deceased pope for opposing the Iraq invasion. After all, there's absolutely no doubt that Kofi Annan was paying him to make Bumfuzzle look bad.

These low-lifes can't conceive of someone even breathing without being financially greased. Given the recent revelations about on-the-take conservative "journalists," you can only attribute their suspicions to that old psychological phenomenon called projection.

My befuddlement is why some woman from Califunny would travel 1/2-way around the world to stick her nose in that business.

Maybe she just thought it was wrong that her country was slaughtering innocents and thought they ought to at least be counted.

My befuddlement is why anyone would find that befuddling.

It still doesn't make sense to me. The whole story just does not make sense.

Bumfuzzle?

That's President Bumfuzzle to you.

That's a shame.

2 perspectives on this, the more I get into this the more I too am wondering what was going on:

Bumfuzzle.

I have heard of Howdy Doody and Chimpy McFlightsuit, but never Bumfuzzle in reference to the President.

This subject is pretty touchy and I suspect this thread will get the MODERATOR BUM RUSH shortly. I would caution that linking the names & death of a protester and an aid worker is a fundamental error and no good can come of it.

Then I guess you can say you heard it here first.

Rachel Corrie apparently kept a diary and it seems some people are making a play based on it in London. How they got hold of the diary I have no idea.

Alan Rickman, who plays Prof. Snape in the Harry Potter films, is involved as a producer or director.

Also note that Corrie's parents plan to sue Caterpillar Tractor Corp for her death.

Jefferson was right truth is stranger than fiction.

the story probably doesn't make sense to most people because they would never dream to do something extraordinary like ruzika did. i read her story and was amazed by what she was able to accomplish. she only deserves praise for what she did. she cared more for making a difference for innocent people than she did for her own safety.

seeing that their is a post here about her, i'm sure she'll get dissed the hell out of- ohwell, just the nature of this board, but ruzika was real special and different.

I was reading up on this last PM.

I agree that whatever she was credited with doing was noble or OK, however I agree with others here in one

different sense: there is lots to do within the lower 48, Alaska and Hawaii. Frankly, going overseas is not necessary to perform humanitarian or volunteer work.

Also some sites credit her with being a member of some extremely Leftist groups, akin to Corrie, the similarities

are striking. Unlike Corrie she apparently was in the wrong place at the wrong time (getting taken out my an IED, which beggars the question: was someone aiming at the troops or HER personally? which would bespeak of the savagery of some extremists: 'hey Mahmoud let's get that blonde infidel driving by') versus standing up in front of a bulldozer (which is something my Terrier knows is not too smart).

The question of whether she (Ruzicka) was a deep-cover operative almost makes me laugh.

I don't see any dissing.

careful bb is watching? Roses are blooming in Arcadia.

But your taxes aren't funding the slaughter of innocent men, women, and children in the lower 48, Alaska and Hawaii.

What if we sent notes with our 1040's designating that the monies go to specific charities?

I included a note a few years ago requesting that none of the funds go to Hillary's election coffers. The IRS never replied on that.

I suppose those sorts of notes get tossed.
