While we’ve had our eye on Iraq, what’s going on in Afghanistan? R.I.P. Army Spc. Ciara Durkin. I hope your family gets the answers they so rightly deserve.

Canavan told the Quincy, Mass., Patriot Ledger on Wednesday that when her sister was home three weeks ago, she told her about something she had come across that raised some concern with her: “She was in the finance unit and she said, ‘I discovered some things I don-t like and I made some enemies because of it.’”

2.) The family is also wondering whether Durkin’s sexual orientation — she was gay — played a role in her death.

3.) Initially the Pentagon reported that Durkin, part of a finance unit deployed to Afghanistan in November 2006, had been killed in action, but then revised its statement to read she had died of injuries “suffered from a non-combat related incident” at Bagram Airfield. The statement had no specifics and said the circumstances are under investigation.
