#1 Steven Vincent was shot a week before the planned wedding to Nouriya Itais and had already delivered a $2,500 dowry to her family.

This is so sad if true. How unhuman and low....

#2 Steven was already married and started many of his stories with "Dear Lisa", his wife.

Appears to be a smear attempt against Steven by the police who picked him up when he was last seen.

#6 Indeed, inhuman and despicable no matter the circumstances.

Steven Vincent was a fine man.

May his soul rest in peace, and his love ones find the courage to accept their tragic lost.

#7 " love ones find the courage to accept their tragic lost"

His loved ones can start by not protesting at the Crawford Ranch. Blame the enemy, not Bush.

#10 I dunno, but sounds like a bullshit cover to me.

Iranian, I mean, Shiite militias are having their way in Basra and he was endangering that.

So they fuckin offed him.

The Iranians want badly their wonderful Shiia playground next door from whence to influence Iraq. It seems to be coming no matter what the Coalition wants, there's just too many Shiia and it's a numbers game.

But whatever. Most of us in the world could give a shit less about their assasinations. They're killing all the Sunnis and baathists thugs that we shoulda offed in the first place, but I digress less fuckers for us to kill today, more for tommorrow.
