No Kevin, I care about the image that has been created for her upon her death...the one of a human shield poster child. HER DEATH *WAS* POLITICAL!!!!! Ask your friends what's honorable about the discrepencies in the photographs on their website? What's honorable about lying and forgeries? What's honorable about having your friends publish the photos of your cracked open head on a website? Maybe it's honorable if you believe she went there to die, or ready to die...but for what cause? Peace? Are you teaching peace when you lead young school children into a symbolic burning of the American and Israeli flag? it's her right, but it's not a gesture of coexistance. She was quoted as saying what a beautiful thing it was to sucide bomb. You've done a piss poor job of defending these people. Their version of peace is discriminatory!

You're wrong. The White House has already pledged they will follow up with an investigation, and Israel has already started one of their own. (and yes Israel has punished soldiers that acted out in the past). Has there been a single investigation on the Americans that have died at the hands of suicide bombs? Nope. Jewish life is apparently cheap. Has there ever been a conclusive investigation for the US diplomat killed at the hands of Arafat, who the ISM acted as human shields to defend ??

Also - when you speak of the priests inside the Church of Nativity you're talking about different fueding factions who all have their own political agendas. The ISM were described as drinking and defacing the church. They wouldn't leave even after negotiations were settled. They were acting as human shield not to accused terrorists, but to CONVICTED terrorists that were supposed to be in Palestinian jails under PA jurisdiction...but instead they were out organizing more acts of violence. These were the terrorists that were extradited, while the rest went free.

It's false to call them a peace group. They support "militants" and acts of violence on civilians... they support and shield those who hold the Palestinian society hostage. If they don't realize this they should get the fuck out of there. A pawn IS a pawn. Who cares how naive they are. "Ooops who knew that guy in our office was teaching children to blow themselves up? We want peace, we swear". It's bullshit.

The truth is most pro-Israel supporters are horribly saddened by this event. And all the while, the ISM continues to encourage misguided young people from around the world, like Rachel Corrie, to spend time in the Middle East providing cover for terrorists.
Bring on the inquiry.

(I might be wrong but I thought you do an autopsy on a corpse not an x-ray)
