Injured Iraqi interpreter grateful for help

AIG get bailed out and this poor man receives a lousy $112,000 dollars from them?

And then doesn't even get it in a lump sum ...

Grrr! There is something terribly wrong when the U.S. government doesn't ensure these people are taken care of ... especially in this case.

How can we EVER win these peoples help and support if we don't treat them exactly as we would treat one of our wounded soldiers?

Those who put themselves in the line of fire for our cause, deserve no less.

Sounds like a mighty poor way to thank a man who risked his life to help U.S. Soliders, got blown half way to Hades and then only gets less than $800 a month for his worries.
At least friends and neighbors have the decency to help this man out when the country he served just kicks him aside.

I think we should show our (dis) pleasure to AIG by everyone having accounts with them to transfer their insurance elsewhere.
Furthermore I am going to write our state senators about withdrawing AIG's support

I want to thank Mr. Morad for his help as we worked together to overthrow Saddam and bring freedom to Iraq. The "terps" (interpreters) were extremely brave to offer their services, at great risk to themselves and their families.

I want to welcome Mr. Morad, and his family, to the United States, and look forward to their becoming U.S. citizens (if they want to).

He has already seen that in the U.S. people are allowed to voice their dissent without fear of harm to themselves or their families. And to voice approval and praise for the actions of others.

The U.S. is also a land of opportunity where people who work hard and seek new solutions can improve their income. I hope that Mr. Morad and his family are able to take advantage of the opportunities that exist.

I hope our veterans of Iraq will establish contact with Mr. Morad and include him in their activities.

Again, THANK YOU Mr. Morad for working with our troops. We honor your service, and sacrifice just as if you were one of our own sons or daughters.
