Tribute

The body of Tom Fox, peace activist, Christian, and the only hostage from the United States was found today in Iraq. The link in the title tells the basic story.

I have a new friend, a Pakistan-American named Baraka who lives in San Francisco (or what she and I call "The Most Beautiful City on Earth"). She is a gentle, loving soul and a fighter for peace. She has faced many trials and her courageous spirit shines through all.

Baraka wrote a lovely tribute to Tom Fox today. I'm still having trouble with links over here so the link goes directly to her blog; the post, as of this writing, is the third from the top.
