#1 Maybe it's just that I only get a small piece of the picture, but it seems as if the people being ambushed are always these engineer types. I think more care needs to be given to the dates and times and attendees of their meetings.

#3 Yeah, these types of killings stink. We have a local engineering outfit here (www.powereng.com) that is getting an increasing amount of business in Iraq, and I worry about them. Stay home here in Sun Valley, and have to worry about Kerry creaming you on the slopes, go to work, and some idiot ingrate tries to blow you up .. sucks. You know, a lot of these engineers(at least, the Idaho ones) are avid hunters ... perhaps thay should be allowed to bring their Elk rifles for Iraq duty.

#4 I think foreign businessmen should dress like "conservative" arabs when they travel around. Why look like a target? B's comment is important, too, though--maybe someone's getting info about their meetings and travel plans, in which case it wouldn't matter.
