At about 5:50 am on Saturday, the first reports came in over Twitter that the 'Rachel Corrie' had been boarded close to Gaza. Earlier the activists reported that their radar had been jammed, however their Twitter accounts continued to operate.

The activists reported that three boats were following them for about twenty minutes and then that they had been boarded.

The passengers are said to be under arrest.

Better to be boarded than bulldozed, I always say.

The best defense is a good offense.

Seize the Rachel Corrie, seize all of the weapons on board, show them to the world.

They were probably boarded by a bunch of commandos backed up by Apache gunships. Id say they got religion real fast when faced with chain guns and rocket launchers.

The White House later expressed support for the agreement and called on the ship to dock at Ashdod.

Apparently an adult finally got through to the White House and told them that they needed to "moderate" their stance on the Gaza situation.

Not only that, but they also saw some of their compatriots die on the previous flotilla. That too has a way of instilling religion, as you so aptly put it. [Hint to Obama: peace through strength, peril through weakness. Learn and live.]

Looks like the terrorists’ plans fell flat.

I don’t think they docked in Israel as requested. This appears to have happened at sea....

Sounds like a successful operation.

Passengers under arrest: Excellent!

I liked the idea proposed by a FReeper on another thread to drop a bulldozer on it. Works for me.
