Lostalex - save your cynical bile for the vile bastards who committed these despicable evil atrocities. There really is no need to disrespect the poor innocent victims. They weren't idiots, nor 'wannabe' Ernest Hemingways - they were decent, compassionate human beings who should put the rest of us to shame that we sit back and do nothing, or contribute money to salve our consciences when we see the innocents suffering, whilst courageous people like Alan Henning get physically involved.
Yes, all these charity workers know the risk involved, but that fact only substantiates their courage in still doing what they thought was right and what their conscience decreed they should do.
They all leave behind grief-stricken family and friends, and I think your posts are disrespectful.
