Surprisingly good (and long) article in The Stranger, the local Seattle Weekly that makes the Village Voice look like National Review.
The author travelled to Rafah to write about the Rachel Corrie incident and came away with a pretty balanced story. The Evergreen College (Olympia, WA) students going over there have no idea about life outside their Marxist classrooms and think that anarchy will save the day.
The author, Eli Sanders, was interviewed on the John Carlson show, KVI 570AM, the local 24x7 conservative talk radio show. Maybe there's an audio archive of it.
Brought up a good point that while eating dinner with a Pallie family he was wondering if he was succumbing to Stockholm syndrome. I'm sure the Evergreen students don't have a clue what that is.

Was Yassar Arafat the man that held hotage and killed a Belguim Ambassador in an attempt to free Sir Han Sir han (the murderer of Robert Kennedy) - worth it?
