...final insult for Sharon: American Evangelist Pat Robertson claims (presumably through a reliable source) that Sharon was, in fact, struck down by God as punishment for the Israeli leader's withdrawal of Jewish settlers from Gaza, thereby "dividing" the Holy Land.

That's what he did while overseeing 2003 E. coli outbreak at Pat & Oscar's, a restaurant chain based in southern California. "Taco Bell needs to send a clear message to the customers that they are going the extra mile to protect them - that has not come across in anything I have seen yet," says Fink...
