I just wanted to say that it really surprised me when I read the section =
in Counterpunch about the article on our site.  We at Indymedia Israel =
were cautious not to put the article in the feature section specifically =
because there is no evidence of the accusations given by Carvalho...no =
e-mail, no name of his professor that we could contact.  We have a =
democratic publishing system and it is up to the reader to be conscious =
of the danger of accepting an article at face value (much in the same =
way, I guess for all media sources).  It is important that we have the =
capability of allowing for open publishing, however, it does have its =
danger.=20
The feature section in the middle of our page are specifically selected =
articles which we give prominance. =20

I actually would be a bit disenhearted if Counterpunch just grabbed what =
was written on our site and claimed it as evidence. =20

We sent out feelers by contacting IMC-Brasil to look into it anyway.

>On this, "CNN's videotape of Palestinians, " saw that >from Marcio A.V. =
