Kenneth Bigley.
Daniel Pearl, Nicholas Berg, Paul Johnson, Kim Sung-Il, Georgi Lazov, Eugene Armstrong, Jack Hensley. And unnamed Kurdish truck drivers, and Turkish workers, and anonymous Iraqi citizens. Although the filth that took their lives chose the most degrading method possible, in an attempt to sow terror and reap obedience (like their predecessors in hatred in the pre-Civil Rights era South), they have not dehumanized their victims--only themselves.
We will remember their names.
