But "she wasn't a radical extremist," he said. "She wasn't someone who would participate in protests for the thrill of it. She wasn't reckless."

"I am just beginning to learn from what I expect to be a very intense tutelage," she wrote, "about the ability of people to organize against all odds, and to resist against all odds."

I guess she didn't learn quick enough!

Yeah, it took a bulldozer to do that.

The young lady was ideological dope, but running her over with a bulldozer is a bit sadistic IMHO.

Corrie's parents, Craig and Cynthia Corrie of Charlotte, N.C., released a statement saying they "are proud Rachel was able to live her convictions.

Tough break for her I guess, but she was enabling violent terrorist and paid the price for them. If she knows the truth now she will realize she gave her life to protect scum who kill Jewish children without pause.
