| Canadian Peacekeeper sent email stating Hizbullah was using U.N post as a shield |
| 2006-07-28 |
| Maj. Paeta Hess-von Kruedener, a Canadian UNTSO peacekeeper killed in Lebanon overnight Tuesday by an IAF missile strike on his post, wrote in an email to his former commander in the Canadian army six days before he was killed that Hizbullah was using the UN post as a human shield. Kruedener added in the email that IAF strikes near the UN post prior to his death were "necessary" and that the IDF fire was not intentionally targeting the post. Maj.-Gen. Louis Mackenzie, Kruedener's ex-commander, told a Canadian radio station about the email letter in an interview. Kruedener's wife demanded Thursday to know why IAF missiles struck the UN site where her husband was stationed, despite repeated pleas by observers there to halt the firing. Cynthia Hess-von Kruedener told reporters in Kingston, Ontario, that she believes the attack, which involved precision guided missiles, was intentional. Hess-von Kruedener said her husband told her that the UN site had been fired upon for weeks, despite the fact that their vehicles and buildings were clearly marked. |

| #7 Seems that I read somewheres else that these outposts contained UN-armed soldiers. Hate that the Canuks lost appearantly a good soldier, but if these guys were unarmed, they should've been pulled out 2 weeks ago. More blood on Kofi's hands. And, oh yeah, Kofi, how's that Sudan "peace deal" goin? |

| #4 This is finally getting coverage outside of the blogs and "Jewish" papers - Melbourne Herald Sun. Annan should be directly put on the spot to abjectly apologize to Israel for his outrageous bias and explain why the UNIFIL posts, even NOW, are still manned in the middle of a hot war. Worthless yet amazingly expensive to maintain, they are the perfect symbol of the feckless UN and the duplicitous Annan. |

Why America can war for empire but not allowed to govern its own said same empire, but we are however allowed to give up our freedoms, sovereignty, form of government, and endowments-advantages, etc. voluntarily = forcibly!? |
