Natalee Holloway and Rachel Corrie

Scott Horton, the superb host of Antiwar Radio, raises a great point. There is something wrong with a society in which most people know who Natalee Holloway is, but few know who Rachel Corrie is.

How many know who Leon Klinghoffer is? How many know who Furkan Dogan is? Many people will recognize the first of these names even now, 25 years after it first hit the news. Can we say the same for the second today? How about 25 years from now? I think I know the answer.
