Israel Exposes Horror of Bus Bombing
(Washington Post) Molly Moore - For the first time in more than three years and after scores of suicide bombings, the Israeli government took the horror of a bus bombing directly to the public via a video on the Internet, bypassing what one senior Israeli official called the "distorted" coverage of the international news media. "We decided this was the only way for us to bring our message to the world," said Gideon Meir, a senior Foreign Ministry officer. "It took us 3 1/2 years to show these pictures." Meir said the Web site had received 600,000 hits on the video as of Sunday night.
