Could we have a printed text version of this also?

My video audio isn't currently working and I sure would like to be able to read a transcript of this interview!

Rachel Corrie -- A beautiful human being

A very tragic story of a very brave individual who cared so much for the live of others -- read her emails at "rachelcorrie/a memoriam" at her website. I remember John Lennon's statement before his own tragic death: "I don't understand why so many non-violent people end up dying violently -- I can never work that out." As we know, four months after that statement he was brutally murdered in NYC by an assasin's bullets. Rachel Corrie was a beautiful human being who will always be remembered.
