Tom Fox

There are reports that Tom Fox's body was found in Baghdad Friday.

He is the American member of the Christian Peacemakers Team who was abducted with three other CPTers in Iraq 100 days ago. Although I didn't know Tom, he was a Quaker and I know folks who did know him, and my thoughts are with them right now. My thoughts are also with the family and friends of the three other CPT members, two Canadian (one who is known to friends of mine) and one Briton.

http://www.cpt.org/ has an eloquent statement about Tom and his colleagues.

If any Locals reading this are interested, I understand that there will be an interfaith prayer vigil tomorrow at 5:30 at downtown City Hall.

It's easy to get his name wrong...but Terry Fox is a different kind of role model...

That's terribly sad news. Some brave men there. Hope the other 3 come back alright.
