International Solidarity Movement expresses motives for wanting Rachel Corrie dead:

    http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?file=/chronicle/archive/2004/07/14/MNGBS7L5V71.DTL “When Palestinians get shot by Israeli soldiers, no one is interested anymore,” [International Solidarity Movement leader George] Rishmawi said. “But if some of these foreign volunteers get shot or even killed, then the international media will sit up and take notice.”

    http://web.archive.org/web/20030417080621/http://www.freepalestinecampaign.org/Stranger+article.htm

    Joseph Smith, who was present when Rachel Corrie died and whose highest priority seemed to be to take pictures instead of, for example, trying to get her out of the bulldozer's path, said, “The spirit that she died for is worth a life. This idea of resistance, this spirit of resisting this brutal occupying force, is worth anything. And many, many, many Palestinians give their lives for it all the time. So the life of one international, I feel, is more than worth the spirit of resisting oppression.”

Let’s see, travel to a foreign country - stand in front of an EMPTY house of a suicide bomber, and challenge a bulldozer from Israel to a game of chicken.

She was simply too stupid to be allowed to reproduce.

Thank goodness her parents have ceased reproductive activites, for they failed her, as badly as her common sense failed.

One cannot lose what what didn’t have to begin with.

Ha. Who is more oppressive? Followers of a death-cult hell-bent on destruction of those who don't (and even do) agree with them, or the country out to protect itself from said death-cultists?

“Have Craig and Cindy Corrie Lost their Honor?”

How can people lose that which they never possessed?

Forgive me for going off topic, but in a totally unrelated matter, did you know IHOP just brought back its all you can eat pancake special, starting at only $4.99!

Craig and Cindy Corrie give Cindy She-hag a run for her money.

Nobody could trample their dead kid’s memory like the bitch in the ditch did. But gosh darn it - Craig and Cindy are trying.

I never celebrated the death of that girl, but I have no sympathy for her or her parents. She was a dum-bass who put herself into the situation that took her life.

Now her parents take the low-road toward martyrdom for their idiot offspring and I have to ask...what “honor”?!

“If they sought genuine justice against those who were most directly responsible for their daughter’s death, as any person of honor would do, these travel and media opportunities would dry up pretty quickly.”

Gee, ya think? What a crushing discovery....

So a dead ‘martyr’ is better propaganda than an anonymous but still breathing pinhead. Who’d a thunk it? It seems like they’re shooting at a niche market here, one already sodden with Sheehan overload. They can pose for pitchers with arafat, get a mention on a shortwave broadcast from Djibouti or some such, but who really cares.
