I listen to the BBC's27 February 2008
A Very Sad Day
Hi. Today the peer of Iraqi journalists Shihab Al Tamimi has gone. He was seriously injured on Friday the 23rd of Feb. when 'THEY' shot him in Al Waziriya district in Baghdad. And today he died at the age of 75 years. So this is another victory for 'THEM'. Today 'THEY' have succeeded in shutting up another free Iraqi voice. Mr Al Tamimi isn't the 1st, and won't be the last. 250 Iraqi journalists were murdered since 2003 and till now. I stand and shout outloud : ENOUGH silence ! I'd say to journalists all over the World : Your Iraqi colleagues are being murdered in Iraq. We want your reactions. We want your condemnations. I'm asking from any journalist who receives this message to write a post for my blog about the assassination of the peer of the Iraqi journalists Shihab Al Tamimi. With my love. Yours forever, Lubna.

lubna,
i read and re-read your blog statements to remind me what is good and kind and true and worth fighting for in this life. i condemn the death of Shihab Al Tamimi, and all other journalists who have lost their lives to the violence in Iraq.
heaven bless you for calling us to indignation regarding this issue.
i am holding out for an iraq that recovers and emerges into something better, as alan johnston put it.
i love you.
