So did the IDF board the Rachel Corrie or not? seem to be conflicting reports, and now its not showing up on JPost's main page. AP has not ran a story to that extent, it was supposedly a twitter post. Anyone have any up to date info?

Maybe the Rachel Corrie was a “ghost” ship?

Officially, Israel denies that they have boarded the ship. It must have been a false rumour.

The Jerusalem Post ran a long and detailed story about the boarding. More evidence (like the Iranian twitter revolution) that twitter turns people into twits.

AP is running a story that the Israeli Navy was tailing the boat.

I thought the Rachel Corrie was a flat top.

Two IDF websites, both with twitter type short up-to-date news.
