Related updates: CNN reports that autopsies confirm all 9 activists who died in the raid were shot to death, one by "extremely close-range gunshot" to the head. A Canadian activist who survived maintains the activists were unarmed, and were fired upon by "machine-guns on the helicopter." And in the New York Times, details about American "subplots" in the flotilla story, including the story of one US citizen who was shot to death. A new group of activists is again testing the Israeli blockade: their ships carrying aid are due to arrive Saturday morning local time. Their ship is The Rachel Corrie. Oof, that's gonna end well.
