Terrorists hit home with killing - Kathy Jefcoats

I've been a reporter for more than 16 years and consider myself hardened to most atrocities. I minored in criminology in college because I knew I wanted to cover cops, courts, crimes, criminal justice, lawyers and judges. In doing so, I have seen the horrible things people to do each other and themselves. I often feel jaded, cynical and skeptical.

However, as I drove home from work Tuesday, I had to keep from just letting go and boo-hooing all the way to Fayetteville. I was listening to the radio, to a spokesman for the Jack Hensley family give a press conference and answering questions from the media. Unless you've been living in a cave the last week or two, you know who Jack Hensley is – or was. He was a Marietta resident working and living in Iraq as a construction worker when he was snatched from his quarters with two colleagues.
