Here's a collection of articles & video links I put together from various
sources, some of them already posted on the Media & International lists. 
Israel is claiming that the Israeli Navy gunboat collision with the SS
Dignity was an accident, contrary to accounts by witnesses on board the
Dignity including Cynthia McKinney.  Overall, the foreign press coverage
of the incident seems to be more detailed and probably more accurate.  The
Green Party will have a release out shortly on the Gaza attacks and the SS
Dignity incident. -- Scott
