Is there a news blackout of the M.V. Rachel Corrie? I can't find anything anywhere.

As I had no idea I asked the question on Mondo and got this answer:
TGIA – It went back to shore to get fitted with multiple video cameras and satellite feeds. Excellent idea!!

Just in:
'Rachel Corrie' To Arrive in Gaza Within 24 Hours
"MP Dr Mustafa Barghouthi called on Friday Nobel Peace laureate Mairead Maguire, who along with other civilians in on the MV Rachel Corrie en route to Gaza. Speaking via phone link with the Irish Nobel Peace and other activists on the Freedom Flotilla, Barghouthi reported that “the MV Rachel Corrie is currently on its way to Gaza and hopes to arrive Saturday morning”.

Admittedly, that's if everything goes according to plan.
Notice: The word verification is terso: It used to be my dad's preferred word for "very bad" or "no good"!! I hope this is not an augur.

Thanks for the updates, folks. Funnily enough (strange expression)there was a report on Channel 4 news last night. Then this morning the BBC did a little hand-wringing about the scale of the public relations disaster resulting from the massacre. They were hoping that the aid ship will allow the Israelis to escort it into Ashdod, steal the cement and other goods, and maybe allow some pencils, etc., into Gaza in 18 months time. You see the BBC is very concerned about Hamas claiming this as a victory. When talking about Gaza on the BBC news it's compulsory to mention HAMAS a specific number of times.

Terso, TG - sounds like a detergent. I'll have to do a wordsearch.
