If what you say is true, Vernon -- if the Israeli army were targeting ambulances in the process of giving aid -- it would indeed be grotesque. But per the Reuters account, I see only that such has been claimed by the palestinians, not that it has been substantiated.

If it should be confirmed, I will join you in condemnation. I trust you do not object to me waiting until the facts are verified.
