the investigation should be to determine why her parents raised her to hate america.

Her parents helped found the school that taught her so. I wonder how many others have been lost that way?

Just because some anonymou scaption writer used the words "moments before" when it's obvious from the lighting that such was not the case doesn't mean the photos were doctored, which is what some tin-foilers have been claiming.

All these dipdingle parents have left is the knowledge that their kid is "a Pallie martyr."

Let that thought keep them warm on a cold night.

Look at the expressions on the faces of the assembled children...kinda like "wow, another photo-op with a nutty infidel...kewl...my friends on Gaza will see me on CNN." I mean look at their faces, its like been there, done that, another American flag burning...yawn, is it time for lunch yet? Yet she is shreiking and gnarling like the people around her care about what is doing and why she is there...talk about being 'usefull idiot.'

The look on her face was pure evil. Anohter fine product of Western American liberals.

Have you taken a good look at those pictures of Rachel standing in front of the bull dozer? They are fake. The shadow is wrong and the boyfriend has no feet in one picture. The proportions between Rachel and the bulldozer are radically different between photo 1 and 2.

Who killed her really?

Nice little photo montage. I have only seen comparable looks of rage a couple of times in my life. Such as when I refused to get into the car of a man who offered me a ride when I was walking home from school one day. He turned out to be a mass murderer. This girl's hatred is (was) frightening.

[PhilDragoo]

Blinded by hatred, Rachel acted unwisely.

The rest is physics.

I think the thing you fail to realize here is that actions have consequences, something that apparently isn't taught in school, except maybe in Science Class, and maybe not even then. Standing in front of a bulldozer may be seen as a legitimate act by some, but to most of us, it's just plain dumb! Her death is a tragedy (any death is, to someone or to many someones), but that doesn't override the fact that the girl did something stupid, and unfortunately paid for her mistake with her life. She deliberately stood in front of the bulldozer. The driver should have stopped, I agree, but he also had a job to do, and was apparently under orders to get that job done. She was in his way. He would have had reason to believe, as most would, that no one would be stupid enough to stand there long enough to actually be run over by the dozer. To blame Israel for the actions of a bulldozer driver who didn't realize how far this girl would carry her protest is wrong, and it's wrong to make this girl a martyr, too.

At least you're truthful about your total lack of compassion. Honesty is a good quality to have.

INCORRECT. I have not posted one crude joke about her. If you want to waste time looking at my posting record you can confirm this. I do feel sorry for her and the same time consider her a brainwashed tool of the Islamics. The Islamics exploited her alive and now that she's dead.

Someone should investigate the parents for being idiots. They set her up as someone that could never be happy, let her live her short life not believing in anything but that which assailed her senses. No God obviously, nothing but liberal claptrap. Play with the bull, get gored........It is as simple as that, and her parents were responsible for her end.

[jeremiah]

Correction to the naming of Rachel Corrie.........not US citizen, but world citizen.

Mud bay is a small suburb of the state capitol, about two minutes from the nearest Starbucks, or a Bradshaw bomb to the capitol building. They can see the dome of the capitol across a half mile of the bay.

[MarMema]

I would feel for her parents but they didn't seem too sad to me in their rush to be political.

[MarMema]

As for her, she was supporting the actions of terrorists.
Terrorists who have acted with greater cruelty than most humans on this planet. I have not forgotten the one year old in the stroller who screamed for her mother as she was dying from being burned alive. The Israeli one year old, killed horribly by terrorists linked to the very ones Rachel was trying to protect and probably was helping.

I have puzzled over this image a couple of days. I'm no expert, but have dabbled a little bit in image manipulation, and I think both people have been added later. The girl doesn't even look to scale compared to the guy, which is supposedly less than a body length away. And as others have noticed, there's no shadow from the guy, though there is shadow around his elbow. And he has no feet.

This is definitely a Leftist SCAM which the parents and ambulance chasing lowlifes will try and use to garner sympathy.

For nearly two months, Corrie was stunned by the level of everyday violence and in awe of Palestinians trying to live ordinary lives, which she chronicled in e-mail to friends and family.

...

"I think she was so emotionally charged because she was seeing weapons used on children. I think there's a value in not judging someone on one moment but rather on the thoughts they can articulate when they really think about things."

She was also an admirer of suicide bombers. "Peace" is a relative term, you see.

[Southack]

These two parents should be arrested and charged with child endangerment and neglect for allowing their poor daughter's head to be filled with such PC mush and Leftist rhetoric.

Craig and Cindy Corrie spent yesterday in Washington, D.C., demanding lawmakers begin a U.S.-led investigation into the death of their youngest daughter, Rachel.

Hey Craig and Cindy, look in the mirror and you will see who is responsible for your daughter's death.
