The area of the worst destruction has come to be known among foreign rescue workers, Palestinians, and IDF soldiers alike, as "Ground Zero."

Mr Bouckaert, I've been to Ground Zero. And believe me, you don't have a Ground Zero.

These people actually care more about dead terrorists than about the innocent Americans whose remains are scattered around the real ground zero.

A general comment and question.

They call this place the Jenin Refugee Camp. Now, when I think of a refugee camp I visualize a place to temporarly house refugees. Usually in tents or leantos, sometimes without shelter at all. In my mind refugee camps usually lack running water everywhere and have very few permanent buildings.

The pictures I've seen of Jenin look like a town, not a refugee camp.

Anybody know what gives? I suspect it's psychological. Call them refugees and you automatically get a subconcious amount of sympathy.
