4. she and her husband were with the group

--Christian Peacemaker Teams--that now has had some of its members kidnapped in Iraq:
http://www.cnn.com/2005/WORLD/meast/11/29/iraq.main/index.html

According to that link, they weren't there to proselytize but to truly help:
The organization's teams have "worked for the rights of Iraqi prisoners who have been illegally detained and abused by the U.S. government. We were the first people to publicly denounce the torture of Iraqi people at the hands of U.S. forces, long before the Western media admitted what was happening at Abu Ghraib."

This is so awful.
