[madmax]

1. At one point Cindy was going to follow him there

is that off, because she's sick? :shrug:

[Ilsa]

2. That's okay, I heard on Mike Malloy last night that Casey

Sheehan's former girlfriend will be there at the Caterpillar factory to protest him. At least, that's what Cindy said last night. I hope The chickenshit awol pretzeldent sees and hears her.

[gratuitous]

3. If past history is any indication

Look for massive layoffs at Caterpillar.

4. To go with his caterpillar economy... creeping along, barely moving

Maybe one day the Democrats will take over and turn it back into a butterfly.

5. G**D*** Caterpillar

Union bustin' SOB's

[Burried News]

6. Looks like Ariel Sharon's suggestion to me. He was in Crawford

recently (amazing how burried that news was). Seems the Presbyterians and several other denominations are divesting from Caterpillar because of their sales of equipment to Israel that uses them for house demolitions in the West Bank and Gaza.

Letters to the Editor
The Orlando Sentinel August 19, 2004

To the Editor:



Ray Hanania's impassioned defense of the actions of the Presbyterian Church (USA) in their call for selective divestiture from companies doing business with Israel, is false and misleading ("Presbyterian Church takes courageous stand," Aug. 19).



Hanania oversimplifies the Palestinian-Israeli conflict by making Israelis the aggressors and occupiers, and the Palestinians the victims. This one-sided analysis ignores Palestinian violence, suicide bombers and terrorists attacking innocent victims, many of whom are Arab, Muslim and Christian.



Comparisons of the Israeli government to the apartheid regime of South Africa are odious and offensive. Israel has repeatedly made offers to negotiate a settlement and the return of Palestinian land, only to be greeted with more violence. Like Hanania, the Presbyterian Church ignores Israel's pragmatic attempts to defend itself against a tide of terrorism by focusing solely on Palestinian suffering.

Family of Rachel Corrie Sues Israeli Government and Caterpillar Inc. Two Years After She Was Crushed by Military Bulldozer"
Four paragraph excerpt:
A U.S. congressional resolution demanding an independent inquiry into Rachel's death was buried in committee for months before it expired at the end of the 108th Congress, leaving the Israeli military's investigation - which cleared itself of any wrongdoing - as the only official investigation.

Now, on the second anniversary of her death, Rachel Corrie's family is suing the State of Israel and the Israeli military. In the lawsuit - which was filed in Haifa Tuesday - the family is asking for roughly $324 thousand in direct damages, as well as punitive damages. They also said they have yet to receive all of the material from the IDF investigation.

This comes as Amnesty International today called on Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice to support an independent investigation of Rachel Corrie's death.

In a separate lawsuit, the Corrie family is also suing Caterpillar, Incorporated - the US firm that manufactured the bulldozer that crushed Rachel. The federal suit alleges that Caterpillar violated international and state law by providing specially designed bulldozers to the IDF that it knew would be used to demolish homes and endanger people.
