  • Cindy Sheehan : the Peaceful Occupation of Camp Crawford (Day 4)
    10 August 2005 par (Open-Publishing)

    — a message from Cindy Sheehan, Crawford, TX
    Today started at 4am when I had to get up and get ready to be on Good Morning America. It was pouring down rain at Camp Casey. The wind was blowing and there was thunder and lightening. It was pretty exciting. The interview went very well. I haven’t seen it or read a transcript. Since it was taped, I am just wondering if they showed it when I said Bush doesn’t want to see me because he likes to surround himself with "sycophants." I also (…)

  • Like Nagasaki, August 9 is an orphan of history
    10 August 2005 par (Open-Publishing)

    by Harvey Wasserman
    And in that history, new, definitive evidence has finally surfaced that the atomic bombing there was completely unjustified.
    More than 80,000 human beings perished in Nagasaki three days after at least that many died in Hiroshima.
    The Bomb that destroyed this historic city was made of plutonium (Hiroshima’s was uranium).
    Whatever the case for nuking Hiroshima, it was far weaker for Nagasaki.
    The US had already shown it had this ultimate weapon. It showed it was (…)

    by Leuren Moret
    My grandfather, U.S. Army Col. Edwin Joseph McAllister, was born in Battle Creek in 1895. He does not know that his first grandchild is an international expert on depleted uranium. I have worked in two U.S. nuclear weapons laboratories, and in 1991 I became a whistleblower at the Livermore lab. Depleted uranium is very, very, very nasty stuff: Depleted uranium (DU) weaponry meets the definition of weapon of mass destruction in two out of three categories under U.S. Federal (…)

    by Joe Garofoli
    Anti-war activists are asking San Francisco radio station KMEL-FM to remove the U.S. Navy as a sponsor of the annual Summer Jam concert in Mountain View, saying the station is "using hip-hop to promote the military to young people of color."
    The high-profile event, set for Aug. 21, usually sells out the 20,000- capacity Shoreline Amphitheatre.
    San Francisco’s Global Exchange, the group Code Pink: Women for Peace and two dozen other organizations are leading a protest at (…)

  • How Building a Saudi City Made a Lefty Out of Dick Underhill, VFP

    by Greg Moses
    Back in the 60s you could say two things about Navy and Air Force veteran Dick Underhill: he liked to do the work that nobody else wanted to do, and he was a Goldwater Republican. Today as Underhill shuttles in and out of Crawford, Texas, running supplies and tending to lists of things to do in support of Cindy Sheehan, you could still say he likes to do the work that nobody else wants to do, but you couldn’t call him a Goldwater Republican anymore.

  • Cindy Sheehan threatened with arrest: Freedom to Assemble under threat
    10 August 2005 par (Open-Publishing)

    Can you believe Bush? He hasn’t attended a single funeral of the 1838 soldiers reported as killed in action, 20 dead in two days last week, 9 more today- they’re dead because he lied, and now he’s on vacation! And if that’s not bad enough, now he wants to arrest Cindy Sheehan on the grounds that she’s a threat.
    Whatever happened to the First Amendment- the FREEDOM to Peaceably Assemble? According to Bush- that is no longer our right. After 9/11 they had to take away that freedom to (…)
