tejek,

re:Besides, a zionazi reference does not guaranteed falsified info

That is seriously funny.

re:how often have you heard of a bulldozer running over a demonstrator and killing her?


Not often, they usually get out of the way.

re:On a different subject, why do you think Bush is choosing now to confront Putin on the eye goggle issue? Apparently, the WH has known for months that Russia was supplying this stuff to Saddam. I don't understand the point of brining it up now.

There's the obvious issue of truth, but if you must have secret reasons - I'm sure you can invent one on your own.

re:Did I not say that I've read several versions of the story to make sure that his bias was not swaying the facts?

Did you read this one?

query.nytimes.com

When the bulldozer approached a house today, Ms. Corrie, who was wearing a bright orange jacket, dropped to her knees, a practice that members of the group to which she belonged, the International Solidarity Movement, have used repeatedly, her colleagues at the scene said.

As the bulldozer reached her without slowing up, she began to rise, but was trapped beneath a pile of dirt generated by its blade and the blade itself, said one member of the group, Tom Dale, who said he was standing about 30 feet away.

''We were shouting and waving our arms at the driver,'' said Mr. Dale, who is British. ''We even had a megaphone. But the bulldozer kept going until she was under the body or the tracks of the bulldozer.''

The bulldozer stopped for a few seconds and pulled back, Mr. Dale added. Her colleagues rushed to Ms. Corrie, who was bleeding from the head and face and badly wounded, but still breathing.

Ted,

how often have you heard of a bulldozer running over a demonstrator and killing her?

Not often. Could it be that it was a case of this demonstrator being particularly dense?

tejek,

re:I've read several versions of the story to make sure that his bias was not swaying the facts?

How about this one:

arabicnews.com

"She waved for the bulldozer to stop. She fell down, and the bulldozer kept going," said Greg Schnabel, 28, of Chicago. "We yelled, 'Stop, stop,' and the bulldozer didn't stop at all," The Seattle Times reported.

Looks more and more like an accident, the more I read eye witness accounts.

How often have you heard of a demonstrator getting in front of a bulldozer?
