Reply to: IT Contractor Dead In Iraq

Sad and shocking. However if I took a contract in Iraq I know the risks and I know that Im going to earn a lot more cash.....

I think it is a disgrace that you all make fun when someone had died - you should consider the real victim here. His poor agent will lose out on his cut. Maybe we should hold a whip round?

I wish they had kidnapped his agent instead and chopped his fingers

The milk of human kindness floweth rather sluggish around here

The price of oil would reach $1000 then.

But the price of glass would be cheap as chips

How was he killed. Was it like this

Would being in the custody of kidnappers be classed as working time? And if so, would they sign timesheets. Maybe that's why he got the chop. He asked for them to sign. A good contractor always gets his timesheets signed no matter what. At least there would be no expenses - until now. There'll be repatriation and funeral costs.

I'd invoke my substitution clause.

anyone knows which agency was he through ? I bet one of the S3.

You could always rtfa...

What's the betting the agency will stiff the family for his last months wages as he didn't turn in signed timesheets?

I wouldn't mind using cheap radioactive oil

Is it possible to irradiate oil?

Well, look on the bright side, contractor rates there will be going up, up, up!

(Yeah, I know, it was a sick post, but as you all know, I'm a sick puppy!)

Yep, nuke the place...

[bogeyman]

relatives of these people who live abroad, including survivors who will have certain death in 2-3 years will provide a wave of suicide bombings that this world has never witnessed before.

Astonishing!

It's as though Notradamus himself, was in the room.
