Have you seen the video on CNN this AM ? Nah... haven't bothered... Seeing the Israeli video showing those "humanitarians" immediately attacking and attempting to kill those Israeli commandos was sufficient to justify the shootings. Peace activists don't attempt to murder people, regardless of whether they are soldiers or civilians. The minute they disarmed a commando and started shooting (or threatening to shoot), they became combatants. But I will re-iterate that Israel didn't think through the consequences of such a direct confrontation. They should have just disabled the ship by fouling the propellers or shooting a few holes in the engine room (after ample warning) and disabling the engines. I still suggest using two patrol boats with a heavy duty fishing net straddled between them to foul up propulsion and maneuver. Do that and all they have to do is tow the ship or await salvage efforts. No Casualties.. no major political problems. Hawk
