The one that got away...
They didn't catch this one though (article copied in it's entirity):
Murdered aid worker’s sister says politics has no place in his death(emphasis mine)
VANCOUVER (CP) — The sister of a Vancouver carpenter who was shot to death in Afghanistan says she’s overwhelmed by countless messages of support from people around the world.But Luba Frastacky also said Monday she wishes people would stop using the death of her brother Mike Frastacky for political reasons.
Some are using the death to back up their belief that Canadian troops should withdraw from Afghanistan, where her brother was building a school as an independent aid worker, Frastacky said from Toronto.
"They’re e-mailing me saying I should put pressure, or they want to put pressure, on (Prime Minister Stephen) Harper to get our troops out of Afghanistan. If they want to do that it’s fine. But don’t ask me to do more than I’ve already done. I’ve sacrificed a brother."
Frastacky said Mike Frastacky, 56, risked his life when he returned to Afghanistan to finish building the school in Nahrin, in the northeastern province of Baghlan.
He was shot at a home two weeks ago under mysterious circumstances.
Frastacky’s body was transferred to a military hospital morgue in Kabul, where his cremation was arranged last week, his sister said.
She said the Foreign Affairs Department informed her earlier Monday that her brother’s ashes would be flown to Toronto on Wednesday.
At this point, I think the folks that wan't to politicize this man's death are no better than ambulance chasing lawyers. Thankfully Luba Frastacky isn't taking the bait...
