Just to record that yet another journalist 'simply doing her job' has been struck down, in this case seemingly blown to literal smithereens by a car bomb which took her life in one fell blast, apparently just half an hour after she made her final blogpost. Her last words were memorable, well worth noting: "There are crooks everywhere you look now. The situation is desperate."
Her life's work will thus live on, though her passing may seem but another 'statistic' upon the endlessly-growing ash-heap of investigative reporters and foreign correspondents mown down in their prime. Some occupations are indeed a rather risky 'business'.
Viva Daphne!
