<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Dear Sir/Madam,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Tonight's Channel 4 News mentioned the shooting of
a British Peace activist in Palestine - at the end of the brief report, mention
was made of Rachel Corrie, the US Peace activist who died last month. The
presenter stated that Rachel Corrie' was shot' by Israeli forces.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Rachel Corrie was not 'shot'. She was buried alive
beneath the shovel of a US-made bulldozer in the course of a protest aimed at
preventing the demolition of a Palestinian doctor's home. Her death was filmed,
many photographs were taken and dozens of eye-witnesses have stated that
she was deliberately killed. Her family were unable to get her body back home,
and a memorial service two days after her murder was tear-gassed by IDF tanks.
Exhaustive and harrowing detail regarding this whole episode can
easily be found online.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>It is unbelievable that Channel 4 News employs
researchers who could possibly be unaware of these facts - to be fair, Channel 4
News has at least mentioned Rachel Corrie's death , but to misrepresent the
circumstances of her murder is shameful.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Please do ensure that this message is forwarded to
the editor of Channel 4 News and the presenter who was required to dictate
such disinformation - immediate correction, if not an apology, is
due. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Many people in this country have been relying on
Channel 4 News to 'push the envelope' as far as 'mainstream' critical analysis
of this war is concerned - no-one benefits from sloppy and/or deliberately
misleading reports. Please do better. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Sincerely,</FONT></DIV>
