Independent – The senseless death of the woman who fought George Bush: If Marla was dedicated, she was probably also less concerned than she might have been about her safety. While the airport road on which she was travelling is a road that all journalists, aid workers and officials in Iraq must, at some point, travel on, the young woman believed she was somehow protected from the horror of Iraq’s violence because of her work. On Saturday afternoon, it appears she was travelling to visit an injured three-month-old Iraqi girl when the bomber struck, also killing Marla’s driver, 43-year-old Faiz Ali Salim.

And *cue* crocodile tears from Tony Blair in 5, 4, 3….

Also, take a look at who else mourns her passing and why.
