Iraq Car Bomb Kills American Activist

SAN FRANCISCO - A woman who founded a humanitarian group to aid civilian casualties in Iraq has died in a car bombing in Baghdad, officials said Sunday.

Marla Ruzicka, founder of Campaign for Innocent Victims in Conflict, died Saturday in the blast, which also killed an Iraqi and another foreigner, officials said. She had been in Iraq conducting door-to-door surveys trying to determine the number of civilian casualties in the country.


Ruzicka, 28, founded CIVIC in 2003 to "mitigate the impact of the conflict and its aftermath on the people of Iraq by ensuring that timely and effective life-saving assistance is provided to those in need," according to the group's Web site.


Ruzicka's parents said Sunday they were notified of her death just hours after the explosion. U.S. Embassy officials publicly released Ruzicka's name Sunday.


"We've been very worried about her but we know better than to tell our children not to do anything. We were supportive and just reminded her to be careful," said her mother, Nancy Ruzicka, of Lakeport.


She said her daughter had left her a telephone message the night before her death that said, "Mom and dad, I love you. I'm OK."


"She cared about people and gave people her love and help," Nancy Ruzicka said. "I'll remember the love she spread around the world and the good ambassador that she was for her country."


Ruzicka got her start working for non-governmental organizations 10 years ago at the San Francisco-based human rights group Global Exchange.


"It's a terrible tragedy and a tragic irony that somebody who devoted her life to helping the victims of war would herself become a victim of war," said Medea Benjamin, the group's director.

Rogue: going to rant on about this woman deserving a darwin or anything like that, or does your brain work on this one?

First Rachel Corrie, now Marla Ruzicka. Rouge has developed a necrophile habit of gloating over the corpses of murdered women in the Middle East. I guess bukkake is passe for him. Terry Schiavo should be glad she died in Florida and not between the Nile and Euphrates, or Rouge 9 would be fapping all over her cadaver, too.

Who the hell's gloating, Elfy Boy? It is a news article, this is the forum for such, and I posted it.

Gloating? Where? All I've seen was Rogue posting a news article.

Oh, and Rachel Corrie desrves to be mocked, much like any other potential Darwin Award candidate.

Have a very nice day.

Well his "habit" isn't quite consistant then, because unlike Marla Ruzicka, Rachel Corrie wasn't murdered. She killed herself with her own stupidity, which was especially acute given that wasn't her first such encounter with an armored D9 dozer: the previous time she got lucky...

He just reported that someone who was there to help the civilians was killed by the same bunch of retards.

Does this thread exist for any purpose other than Elfdart vs. Everybody?

Um... no. Civilian casualties of war =/= terrorists. Doesn't matter that they share a race, a religion, or a nationality.

And Rouge seems to be basking in it. Hardly what I'd call an innocent declaration.

And... It is indeed ironic, is it not, that she would become one of the civilian casualties she was attempting to document? I fail to see how recognizing irony is equivalent to gloating.

See what you want to see. Doesn't change the fact that what you're looking for isn't there.

Obviously, this is the fault of all those evil Repugnicans, because the Middle East was a perfectly safe and stable region before we went in to steal all that sweet, sweet Iraq Juice.

It seems appalling that people would deliberately try to kill humanitarian workers.

Of course. If humanitarian aid in Iraq is allowed to work, the people might not be miserable, deprived, and pissed off. If that happens, the insurgency loses it's support base. It therefore has a vested interest in interfering with humanitarian aid and infrastructure restoration whenever possible.

It seems to me that the chief reason for posting this was to point out how stupid the DU is, as if we didn't already know that.

Actually no, that was a footnote. If I want to make fun of the DU, I'll just come out and make fun of the DU. You'll note I tossed that in there and haven't come back to the subject since.

You do that a lot; no one cares about it you know. Its annoying if anything.

Can you think of a better way to upset people? The insurgents have the easy job... they just need to make sure things stay messy. The longer things stay messy, the more public opinion turns against it.

It's a shame so many people let themselves be so easily manipulated via their emotions.

From the point of view of the Iraqi "resistance" it makes perfect sense. The worse the situation is for the average Iraqi the better for the terrorists/Baathists and other scum floating around there.
