This post continues in a theme of the distrust this administration has instilled in people like me. As we have seen in the Pat Tillman, Jessica Lynch and other stories, we hear one story first, and then the truth--or elements of it--eventually sort of seep out. So, obviously, when I read about a slain soldier, one who had voiced concerns to her superiors and then ends up mysteriously dead, I get suspicious. Suspicions are only raised further, when you find out that she warned her family to investigate, should she die.

Slain soldier told kin to investigate if she died

The Quincy soldier mysteriously slain by a bullet to the head on a secure Afghanistan airbase feared something might happen to her after discovering “something she didn’t like,” her devastated family revealed.

Massachusetts National Guard Spc. Ciara Durkin, 30, was found with a single gunshot wound to her head behind a building at Bagram Airbase on Sept. 27.

“The last time she was home she said she had seen things that she didn’t like and she had raised concerns that had annoyed some people,” said Durkin’s sister Fiona Canavan, 44, of Quincy.

“She said, and I thought she was joking, that if anything happened to her we had to investigate.”
