SEATTLE -- The parents of a 23-year-old who was killed trying to prevent the demolition of an occupied Palestinian home have appealed a judge's decision to dismiss their lawsuit against Caterpiller Inc., the company that made the bulldozer that ran over her.

"He applied the wrong legal standard and ignored the facts," said Maria LaHood, a lawyer with the New York-based Center for Constitutional Rights.

Rachel Corrie was killed three years ago by an Israeli soldier driving a bulldozer. She was trying to stop him from demolishing a Gaza Strip home while the family was inside; though witnesses said she was clearly visible, the army claimed he didn't see her.

Thanks to everyone for the laughs!

Does anyone know what the top speed of a D9T is? 5 mph?

I like the Waffle house myself (no association comments with John Kerry please).

when rachel corrie is googled there are several pix of her death ... what kind of people stand around taking pictures of her, not just out in the field, but in the hospital and morgue as well ? ... of course the answer is simple but disgusting

I googled Rachel Corrie. Amazing. I didn't know that the leftist pagans had martyrs.

MIDI - GLAD ALL OVER

The day she confronted...that big machine
It had been the last day...she ever had seen
Now Rachel's flat all over...flat all over
Rachel is flat all over...she lost the fight

Her stupid parents...filled her head with crap
So she's the thickness...of a Thomas Guide map
Now poor Rachel's flat all over...flat all over
Rachel is flat all over...she lost the fight

Little kids she had been filling with hate
Then one day Mr. Bulldozer showed up as her blind date

She showed she really...had a problem with Jews
She didn't like them...we had seen that on the news
Now poor Rachel's flat all over...flat all over
Rachel is flat all over...she lost the fight

Here college professors...gave her one side
Perhaps that's the reason...that Rachel had died
Now Rachel's flat all over...flat all over
Rachel is flat all over...she lost the fight

She took Old Glory...and set it on fire
There were few teardrops...when we saw her expire

Now poor Rachel's flat all over...flat all over
Rachel is flat all over...she lost the fight

Little kids she had been filling with hate
Then one day Mr. Bulldozer showed up as her blind date

Here parents hired...lawyer abu-Hussein
He hopes he's riding...on a great big gravy train
Now poor Rachel's flat all over...flat all over
Rachel is flat all over...she lost the fight

I coat my Blue Glaser cartridges with a chitlins/telflon mix.

I'm thinking of manufacturing house and automotive paints with a chitlins additive.

Spraying sidewalks with a chitlins additive in a Super-Soaker may soon be a tradition.
