Family Sues Company Over Daughter Killed by Bulldozer
Wednesday, March 16, 2005


SEATTLE — The parents of a 23-year-old activist killed while trying to prevent the demolition of a Palestinian home have sued Caterpillar Inc. (search), the manufacturer of the bulldozer which ran over her.

The lawsuit, filed Tuesday in U.S. District Court (search) here, alleges that Caterpillar violated international and state law by providing specially designed bulldozers to the Israeli Defense Forces, knowing the machines would be used to demolish homes and endanger people.

Rachel Corrie, a student at The Evergreen State College (search) in Olympia, Washington, was standing in front of a home in a refugee camp in Rafah, a Gaza Strip city near the Egyptian border, on March 16, 2003, when a bulldozer plowed over her.

"The brutal death of my daughter should never have happened," her mother, Cindy Corrie, said in a statement released by the Center for Constitutional Rights, one of the law firms handling the case. "We believe Caterpillar and the (Israeli Defense Forces) must be held accountable for their role in the attack."

[I imagine that McDermott will have a speech for this but ask
him about the obvious violations of voter fraud in his district, he becomes partisantly silent] -- How about KC's Logan admitting he didn't know how many provisional ballots were
illegally fed to the machines.... and still straight faced defended the election as a fine example of democracy in action.
