I WAS shocked and appalled at the letter written by J Eccles in which she suggests Kenneth Bigley went to Iraq purely for financial reasons.

Mrs Eccles, is it too much for you to open your narrow mind to the possibility that Kenneth Bigley might be a good human being and that he went to Iraq to help the Iraqi people rebuild their country?

I just hope the Bigley family don't read the LET because I'm sure, like me, they would be very offended by Mrs Eccles stupidly timed and totally unjust letter.
