In an e-mail to her family on Feb. 7, two weeks after her arrival in the Gaza Strip, Rachel Corrie wrote that "no amount of reading, attendance at conferences, documentary viewing . . . could have prepared me for the reality of the situation here."

Those are two different bulldozers! The second photo is staged.

From what I read it sounds like her parents were feeding her the liberal bromides.

FYI - The visibility from a bulldozer isn't all that good.

Yeah, but the visibility from underneath is worse.

in the name of "NO BLOOD FOR OIL."

A new slogan that might catch on with these human bulldozer shields: "NO BLOOD AS OIL."

The replies posted to this article show exactly what kind of people you all are. Vile and hateful. Disgusting. People making fun of her death, implying that she deserved to be murdered

Murdered you say......?

They only ones murdered are the little Jewish children blown up on their way to school by arab terrorists...

Terrorists who "Ms. Genius" was actively supporting.

Sad as it is....her death saved lives.

This a comment from Best of the Web:

It's a shame that Rachel Corrie died the way she did. It's shameful that she lived the way she did.

Gee, I wonder if she ever did drugs while attending Burning Man. LOL

OH WOW!

Is there any other reason to go camping in the desert with thousands of other people staring at the sun?

Thanks for the post Theo, it means a lot to me.

Rachel - you made your bed now lie in it...

Stupid should hurt.

Looks like this time it did.

Stay safe; stay armed,

FYI - The visibility from a bulldozer isn't all that good. I would bet that the operator didn't know that she was there.

He may have known that there was a handful of people there but it looks like her friends scattered and left her, and the driver would have by that time had his view of the lone remaining protestor obscured by the scoop. He would have thought she ran with the others.

someone here mentioned "great solidarity huh!" exactly! You can see the depth of *their* conviction.

I saw a news blip about her stating that the IDF was tearing down houses because they had "strategic importance I think". It is a shame that this young lady was so full of mush that she did not realize that the IDF tears houses down because it is deterant against terrorists. Talk about understanding people, maybe the rest of those life hating human shields will research the big picture before they act. Oh, wait that takes common sense. It is a shame she had to die for such a worthless cause.

I don't think the postal service in Iraq is working to well at the moment.
