#1 As a DSS agent I can assure you that the only State Department official killed was a very brave agent and the 3 BW guys who gave their lives for this country protecting people who are trying to make Iraq a better place. I was in Baghdad in Dec 03/Jan 04 and I was lucky many times - that was when we still used the airport road. I did not know Steve or Ed personally but I've walked a mile in their shoes (Iraq, Afghanistan, West Bank, Gaza, Sudan, and Algeria to name a few). Steve left a little son and I hope DSS does him right. I have not seen the scholarship fund pop up yet but the check will be on the way when it does. God's speed brothers. To Zarq and his pals - may a well trained Marine sniper find you in his sights soon. XOXO

#2 Thanks for the info, DIPSEC. We share your sorrow. May all those who seek to destroy freedom and civilization be quickly found by their reward, whether in a work accident, sniper bullet, or at the hands of their neighbors.

#6 My local gym lost a stalwart man in this incident. There are some nice tributes to him in today's workout posting at CrossFit.com.
