Hello --

I'm wondering if we should feature this story 
http://boston.indymedia.org/newswire/display/38704/index.php about a 
Boston-area activist, who wishes to remain anonymous, being detained in 
Jerusalem by the Israeli police. I see no issue with it content-wise, 
but the fact-checking part does bring up some concerns, particularly 
since the activist wishes to remain anonymous. The story is also posted 
on the International Solidarity Movement's website (go to 
http://www.palsolidarity.org/reports.htm and scroll down), which is 
from what I know a solid, trustworthy group. Does this meet people's 
concerns about verifying what happened or should we try to find more 
out?
