Happy 14th Anniversary Of The Bijlmermeer Air Disaster!
What? The U.S. media isn't all over the fact that today's the 14th anniversary of the October 4, 1992 crash of El Al Flight 1862 in the Bijlmermeer neighborhood of Amsterdam?
I'd assumed they would be, since we're so very, very concerned about WMD in the mideast...and it turned out the flight was shipping precursors for sarin nerve gas from the U.S. to Israel. I also thought the U.S. media would be OUTRAGED that the Israeli and Dutch governments lied about it for years, even as hundreds of Dutch citizens grew seriously ill from exposure to the chemicals.
Huh.
Well, at least Lawrence of Cyberia http://lawrenceofcyberia.blogs.com/news/2006/10/specialty_chemi.html has the whole ugly story.
Speaking of which, Lawrence of Cyberia is one of the very best bleeerts there is on Israel/Palestine issues. If you're interested in them you should be visiting regularly and checking out the archives. Every single post there is worth reading.
