Patrick White expressed an interest he’d had from the case’s preliminary investigations — demolishing the trailer. Investigators found the body of the 10-year-old Cedar Rapids girl crammed inside the bathroom vanity in March 2005. Upon arriving at the property, 4703 Orval Yoder Turnpike S.W., officials came across a blood-stained Bentley at the rear of the trailer, which contained inches of garbage and debris. It’s an eyesore that certainly Meghan V. Malloy/The Daily Iowan conjures up bad memories, The front yard of the trailer in which Jetseta Gage was found dead is littered with trash and junk.

Patrick Hitchon, a UI pro- fessor of neurosurgery and a Palestinian-American, said the vote reflected the dis- gruntlement Palestinians felt with the ruling Fatah Party. Yet the election does not mean that Fatah — led by cur- rent President Mahmoud Abbas — will disappear from the scene. Robinson said Hamas needs to maintain ties with the Palestinian Authority to receive financial support from the international com- munity and assistance in organizing the state. Aaron Citron, the president of Hawkeyes for Israel, said he believed this financial incen- tive could provoke Hamas to disarm. Hamas leadership may dampen the progress achieved in the last year — the rede- ployment from Gaza, for example — and fail to recog- nize Israel as a legitimate state, Sorokin said. The new government’s emphasis on maintaining hard-line policy may also poison its relation- ships with the West, he said — a dangerous proposition. “If the West pulls support, other governments, particular- ly Iran, will fill that void,” he said. Ultimately, Hitchon blames the United States for a failed foreign policy for supporting Abbas but not pressuring him to improve the situation for Palestinians. Their over- whelming vote against Hamas was no surprise, he added. “It’s a reflection of how inept and ineffective we have been,” he said. Sorokin said life under Hamas is a dangerous prospect, especially for Pales- tinians who do not fully sup- port its radical policy. Hitchon, however, said he believes Hamas will evolve into taking a more moderate and universally accepted posi- tion. E-mail DI reporter Margaret Poe at: [email protected]
