The Rachel Corrie Memorial Massacre
Remember Rachel Corrie? She was a mixed-up 23-year-old lass from Olympia, Wash., whose hobbies included playing in traffic and burning the American flag. Last March the former pastime cost her her life. She stood in front of an Israeli bulldozer, but was in the driver's blind spot and was accidentally crushed to death.

Corrie's fatal game of chicken was the product of malice as well as idiocy. Her goal was to promote Palestinian terrorists' murderous campaign against Jews by obstructing Israeli efforts to destroy tunnels that are used to smuggle weapons and explosives from Egypt into the Palestinian "refugee camp" in Rafah, on the Gaza Strip.

HAHAHAHAAAAAAAA!:neener:
The driver of that bulldozer should be slightly embarassed that this happened. OTOH, the director on the ground should also be a little embarassed that he didn't keep a (de)construction area free from children.
Truly, a terrible accident.
What a damm shame, too

Yes, and her parents are running around demanding investigations, etc, etc...

Ms Corrie was a student (maybe graduate, I don't recall) of The Evergreen State Commune, I mean College, in Olympia. The school offers classes in "activism" and the faculty actively promotes the kind of behavior that resulted in her death.

If I was her father, I'd be suing the school for wrongful death.

For those of you not from Washington state, TESC is like UC Berkeley, except without any academic excellence to redeem it. (Say what you want about Cal, but their physics and engineering departments are world class.)
