remember robert wexler? the "cocaine is fun" dude? anyway i saw him on the wolf blitzer show saying that any hint that the israelis intentionally targeted un observers (hints made by kofi annan) were totally irresponsible and encouraging to the terrorists. this from the guardian:

Jane Lute, the assistant secretary general for peacekeeping, told the UN security council that the base came under close Israeli fire 21 times - including 12 hits within 100 metres and four direct hits - from 1.20pm until contact was lost with the four peacekeepers inside at 7.17pm.

Ms Lute said the peacekeeping force had protested to the Israeli army after each firing incident. The UN's deputy secretary general, Mark Malloch Brown, and Ms Lute herself also made several calls to Israel's mission to the UN "reiterating these protests and calling for an abatement of the shelling", she said.
