Then they claim she rose up at the last second to be caught under some dirt and was trapped. It sounds like an accident to me. Further evidence to the drivers reasons for not stopping is the fact they had played this dangerous game several times before, kneeling down and jumping out of the way at the last second. Why would they kneel down??? Perhaps so the driver would lose sight of the person and fear they had run them over and stop???? Isn't the activists goal to stop the driver???? Yes, and it normally it works since normally the drivers do stop because no one wants to by accident kill a person with a bulldozer. Why did this guy not stop? You on the other hand lack any evidence and blather on mindlessly about the drivers thirst for blood, blah blah wolf wolf. Then you claim I'm a fascist, some "argument" Ted - do you always use conjecture and hyperbole to present as evidence in a discussion - I thought you were a learned man of facts and critical thinking. Not an irrational person convinced by the hate filled speech from either the Israelis or the Palestinians or even the activists. I am not irrational.......I am not looking for a conspiracy plot. But a rational mind has to find it highly suspect that the driver did not stop. The information we have about the events leading up to Corrie's death are ambiguous at best. There is an equal possibility it could have been either accidental or intentional. The only reason I don't think its accidental is because death by bulldozer is very uncommon; almost improbable given the speed with which a bulldozer travels. One person says she was kneeling; another says she was buried up to her waist. Which is right? Well, if she was kneeling why didn't she get up in time given the speed of the bulldozer? Isn't it more likely she was buried and she couldn't get up? You talk about facts but we don't know the exact facts....probably never will. But I'll tell you one thing, if I had been the driver and knew that activists were trying to prevent the destruction of a house, Ms. Corrie would be alive today. There is no way I would have taken the slightest chance of killing her by accident. Of course, the real problem is that Ms. Corrie was not a very attractive victim. She was an arrogant American sticking her nose where it didn't belong. A trouble maker that doesn't believe like her gov't believes. So lets ignore the possibilities and assume the worse. Yes, its been mighty fine arguing this issue with you! ted
