Bulldozer driver testifies in Israeli trial over Rachel Corrie's death

The testimony in a lawsuit brought by the U.S. activist's family marks his first public comments since the woman's 2003 death in Gaza. Speaking from behind a screen, he says he remembers little.

"It's Rachel-something," he testified in a Haifa courtroom. "Carrie?"

The former Israeli reservist's courtroom appearance, his first public comments since the college student's 2003 death, was expected to be the dramatic climax of the Corrie family's long-running civil lawsuit against the Israeli government. But during more than four hours of testimony, the 38-year-old Russian immigrant, speaking from behind a screen to hide his identity, said he remembered little about that day and the young woman he ran over.

TVNL Comment: Why is every Israeli who is on trial for offenses against Palestinians or in the occupied territories kept secret? Why are their identities protected? Do they ever protect the identity of the people who lived on that land before a foreign entity gave their nation away?
