Big Dan's Big News June 6, 2010

Special Commentary by Big Dan: "I thought of the term: the 'Reckless Drillers'. It can be used for BOTH oil drillers AND Marcellus Shale drillers who are putting profits ahead of safety. If anyone uses this term, I have copyright on it, I want royalties!!!! I also hedged my bet, and came up with the term 'Reckless Landowners'. Reckless Drillers and politicians can use THAT term to describe the landowners whose land they're wrecking, to make it seem like the reckless drillers are really the victims...kind of like when Bush called Americans losing their homes to foreclosure 'Reckless Homeowners'..."

Special Commentary II by Big Dan: "I'm thinking 'Reckless Humanitarians' for the flotilla aid humanitarians that were executed by the Israelis...whaddya tink???"

Shot in the back and the back of the head by Israeli commandos: American youth Furkan Dogan (it's "OK", though, because Israel did it...maybe NOW you will listen to me about how the U.S. media and the U.S. government is so blatantly pro-Israeli biased, that they can even MURDER U.S. citizens and NOTHING will happen to them, the "news" will cover it up, and our U.S. government will back them killing OUR own citizens!!! We're supposed to be beholden to the foreign country Israel, even though we're not Israeli...because the U.S. media and the U.S. government...BOTH parties, tell us so!!!)

You want to know why we need independent journalism, and why those of you who are reading this article need to support the publication in which it is appearing? Because if you rely for your news on the US corporate media, whether ad-supported or underwriter-supported, you won’t learn that Furkan Dogan, the 19-year-old American citizen slain by Israeli commandos in the raid on the Gaza-bound flotilla May 31, was shot in the back and in the back of the head, as well as multiple times in the face.

This is the conclusion of the autopsy conducted by the Turkish Council of Forensic Medicine, which also did autopsies on the eight other Turkish citizens killed in the Israeli raid on the Mavi Marmara ferry and five other smaller boats in the so-called Freedom Flotilla. Of the other eight dead, the medical examiners found that five had been shot in the back, or in the back of the head.

This critically important information has not appeared in US news reports. Some American news organizations have left out the autopsy information entirely from their reports as of Saturday. CNN, in its report on Friday, did note that five of the nine were shot in the head, and at close range, but the all-important fact that most of the victims were shot from behind was left out. ABC had the same information on Thursday, again without mentioning the shots from behind. In its article on Friday, the NY Times had yet to even name Dogan, the American victim, much less mention the bullets that hit him or how he was shot.

And yet, if you’re trying to establish what happened on that ship, the direction of the firing, not just the number of bullets, or the distance from which they were fired, is crucial.
