I'm also glad none of the Lebanese Musicians shot after performing their show at the Roman Amphitheater by a lunatic were killed since several sources speculate that the shooter: A. Subscribe to the rumor described above B. Assume that their show was part of the Jordan festival (which it wasn't) If one of the tourists was killed, we could have added manslaughter to slander. Luckily the lunatic didn't have the best of aim. Hello Biteme,

I’m glad you have your closure. I’m also glad none of the Lebanese Musicians shot after performing their show at the Roman Amphitheater by a lunatic were killed since several sources speculate that the shooter:

A. Subscribe to the rumor described above
B. Assume that their show was part of the Jordan festival (which it wasn’t)

If one of the tourists was killed, we could have added manslaughter to slander. Luckily the lunatic didn’t have the best of aim.

We hold no grudge and only question why through out the entire ordeal we were not asked to comment or to validate any of the information. Anyway the story is long gone now and we walk away having learnt a lesson and graciously thanking HIS MAJESTY KING ABDULLAH THE SECOND for the "closure" he so elequently created through his interview in all local newspapers.

This applies to both Puclicis and Starbucks which had a similar problem with boycotts due to rumors after its Jewish CEO got honored by a zionist organization. Publicis did not organize Israel's anniversary, but it wouldn't really make a difference even if it did since you'd be hard-pressed to find many International corporations that do not do business in and with Israel. It's too bad Publicis can't sue the union leader who went public with these rumors for ruining their reputation. In the UK they would have got millions in compensation for this type of slander.
