CTRL is a discussion & informational exchange list. Proselytizing propagandic
screeds are unwelcomed. Substance—not soap-boxing—please! These are
sordid matters and 'conspiracy theory'—with its many half-truths, mis-

major and minor effects spread throughout the spectrum of time and thought.

credence to Holocaust denial and nazi's need not apply.
when she fell down as an IDF bulldozer destroyed a house in Gaza. The bulldozer was part of an operation to eliminate tunnels used by Palestinian terrorists to illegally smuggle weapons from Egypt into Gaza. Corrie apparently stood atop a mound of dirt as the bulldozer approached the house, but then fell backward, tumbling down the mound and out of sight. The bulldozer continued and accidentally crushed her. The IDF Spokesman said that soldiers repeatedly warned demonstrators to keep a safe distance. Corrie was a volunteer with the International Solidarity Movement. She was known for anti-Israel and anti-American activities, as this photo from Gaza shows Corrie burning an American flag, while Palestinian children look on. (In general, we wonder on what basis the International Solidarity Movement justifies shielding a house used for weapons smuggling.) The Washington Post (http://washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A35126-2003Mar16.html) notes two important points: 1) soldiers driving an armored bulldozer have limited visibility because of the narrow window. 2) One of the ISM founders admits the protesters might not have been as disciplined in their protest as they should have been. Most media reports failed to mention that the IDF bulldozer was looking for smuggling tunnels. Instead, reports described the house sympathetically as "the home of a Gazan doctor." And the entire mainstream media neglected to mention Corrie's anti-American activities and flag-burning. HonestReporting encourages members to monitor your local media to see how they are reporting the circumstances of Corrie's unfortunate death, and her personal background.
