Iraq - Humanitarian group founder killed

That's how CNN described Marla Ruzicka.

BAGHDAD, Iraq (CNN) -- An American founder of a humanitarian group for Iraqi civilian war casualties has been killed in a car bomb blast, a Western official in Baghdad said Sunday.

Marla Ruzicka, founder of Campaign for Innocent Victims in Conflict (CIVIC), was traveling near Baghdad International Airport on Saturday when a car bomb exploded, killing her and her driver, the official said.

Ruzicka was't just some humanitarian worker, she was an anti-war activist.

Here is a snippet:

So what is this Global Exchange, which Filkins describes only as “an American organization”? A look at its Web site makes clear it’s a far-left outfit that opposed any military intervention in Afghanistan. Blogger Michael Moynihan has more details on Marla Ruzicka, who turns out to be a fervent admirer of Fidel Castro. There’s also a “report” on the 2000 election dispute from the World Socialist Web Site, which quotes her as suggesting Republicans are terrorists:

If she had worked for some right wing group, CNN would have gone out of their way to expose her entire background. But, since she was a leftist and anti-war activist, CNN decides to hide those facts.

Haven't seen anything of the BBC website about this yet but I'll bet they'll give the story similar treatment.

Anyway, let's hope she did some good in the world and rests in peace.
