Title A name given to the resource Madison Area Peace Coalition E-mails Description An account of the resource The Madison Area Peace Coalition (MAPC) formed fourteen days after the September 11 attacks to oppose (among other goals) the use of U.S. military, economic, or political force – whether direct or proxy, overt or covert -- "that violates the sovereignty or human rights of any nation or people."

September 11 Email September 11 Email: Body The basic content, as unstructured text; sometimes containing a signature block at the end. Just to clarify--apparently my message was perceived by some as being an attack on an individual--which it most certainly was not intended to be. I hoped by beginning with the phrase, "the CC may not be aware of this," to indicate that i was assuming there was a communication issue of some kind. I'm not casting blame on any individual--it's just growing pains of the group. Any frustration in my msg is directed at logistical problems in general, not toward any individual. We're all doing our best and these issues will be sorted out with time. Also for future reference, when I do argue against an individual's opinion or ideas, it probably isn't personal. I think the main issues that came out of this are (1) Who calls an action--the CC or AC? (2) We need a clearer def'n of an emergency (3) We need phone communication within the AC in solidarity x On Sun, 21 Oct 2001 16:48:36 -0700 (PDT), x wrote: >  On Fri, 19 Oct 2001 07:53:59 -0500, action@madpeace.org wrote: >  >  I propose we just have a picket line.

We MUST get back to normal as soon as possible. We need to show those animals that we are incredibly resilient and nothing will keep us down. Yes, it's beyond horrific but if we wail and wail for weeks then that's what they want. They believe they have hit targets that have completely destroyed our way of live but they have no idea how amazingly strong we are. Yes, for many people they have lost family members who worked in the World Trade Center and surrounding area, uniformed emergency service jobs, and near the Pentagon...in addition to the passengers on the planes. The amount of fire fighters and cops lost is beyond belief! But.... We need to show them that we can bounce back immediately, dig out, mourn for our losses but stand up straight and move on with our lives. I think this is so important! doug From: x Date: Wed, 12 Sep 2001 12:13:36 EDT To: x Subject: re Oh x, I hope you hear from x soon. I was below Canal Street for my class right after the collapse. Ofcourse it was cancelled but I was already on my way there. It was awful. All the people in droves on the street just walking around with this lost look and a lot of people had no shoes and were covered in soot. This one man told me he just got out of the building but had seen bodies falling past his office window before he escaped. My heart and prayers are with all those families who have friends and loved ones in the building. I used to work at the Citibank in WTC and am thinking about those I worked with there, but I am sure they must be safe because it was the ground floor and they had a great chance to get out. I'm concerned for x's family though. Many of her cousins are firefighters and cops. I called her last night but have not heard back to make sure her family was ok. What a horrendous tragedy, I'm scared about what will be next. They have closed off our area below 14th Street. Yesterday I went to St. Vincent's to volunteer and will try to return today. To walk out on 7th Avenue and see nothing downtown brings such an immediate sense of loss, and I don't think the true impact of this has even set in yet for us all.

September 11 Email September 11 Email: Body The basic content, as unstructured text; sometimes containing a signature block at the end. X and the rest of the Policy WG/C< Thanks for all the hard work you've been putting into this.  For others out in discuss-land, Xand I have been in close contact throughout this process. I'm in progress of contacting tthe three most progresive alders on tthis issue and hopefully will connect with some yet tonight--Wednesday, noon is the deadline to get the resolution to the clerk's office by one of tthe alders. ( I know them since I spent the last 6 years on the Council.) I absolutely believe that this can't and shouldn't be put off or abandoned. It will give both the supportive alders and people from the community to come out in full force to, hopefully, jam the halls of the Council meeting room -- you should all pencil it in on your calendars for 11/20; meeting begins at 6:30pm, but when this issue will come up depends on where it's located on the agenda. It will get people speaking up about the issues, both community and our representatives and I do think the Council will look really bad if they don't pass something comparable to our resolution (I'm sure the "weaker" one would be the "winner" of the two, and even that may be watered down, but if we don't bring this up now  --that humanitarian aid should be allowed to be dropped safely and have the bombing stop -- than when??????? Both the Council alders and the community will survive this, no matter what the final decision is that the Council makes that night.  We shall not be hurt by this, even if it were to take the worst case scenario and have nothing pass. The Council will simply be seen for what it is on this, and those who support it will have that to be proud of and we will be proud of them.  If we gain support by the majority, it will be glorius! I certainly don't think it will create any animosity that doesn't already exist on that body, so that shouldn't be a problem. I'll let X and the Policy WG/C know what I can further find out from certain alders and I'm sure that Policy will get back to all of us.  But, definitely, as some MAPC'ers pointed out at our last GM, we have in the past and should once again this, come out in great numbers and strength Nov. 20 supporting the resolution and those alders who support it!

Hello CC, The more I think about this, the more I think having the MAPC meeting at WilMar is not a good idea. Students had been feeling left out of MAPC (or not taken seriously) for some time. I think this has begun to change for the better. Having a meeting so far from campus could set us back. I remember when I was a student. Taking a bus out to the East side was a big deal and seemed very inconvenient. I think we would do well to have this meeting off campus, but not too far away so that we can continue to involve students. I talked to X about this and she was fine with looking for additional locations, if someone else was willing to do it. She is busy with work tomorrow. I asked a friend (who is retired and available tomorrow) to call around for some other options. It can't hurt to try.

AFGHANISTAN IS VIETNAM.... and Yugoslavia, Colombia, and Somalia, all rolled into one By X As the U.S. war begins in Afghanistan, the budding antiwar movement claims that "Afghanistan is Vietnam," meaning that "America's new war" could become bogged down in a quagmire or even end in defeat. But Afghanistan is not simply like Vietnam. I have followed Afghan politics with morbid fascination since the civil wars and Soviet invasion of the late 1970s.  The recent history of Afghanistan demonstrates that a new war in that country would not simply be like the U.S. war in Vietnam. The war would instead be like Vietnam, Yugoslavia, Colombia, and Somalia all rolled into one.  Afghanistan offers a package deal of multiple disasters, loaded with extra bonus features. Afghanistan is Vietnam.  There is some historical truth to this claim.  Like the Afghanis who defeated British and Russian invaders, the Vietnamese defeated the Chinese and French before us. The U.S. took on a people whose main motivation was not ideology, but a fierce sense of independence from foreign rule.  Vietnamese guerrillas had widespread support in the countryside, partly because U.S. forces distinguished little between combatants and civilians, and were backing an unpopular and corrupt South Vietnamese dictatorship. It will be similarly difficult to tell who is who in Afghanistan, and impossible to find any force representing "freedom." But Afghanistan is not simply like Vietnam.  After the Communist rebels and their North Vietnamese sponsors won the war in 1975, Vietnam became a unified state with a stable central government and a single core ethnic identity.  Afghanistan, on the other hand, has never had a strong central government, and is split into ethnic enclaves. Afghanistan is Yugoslavia.  Like Yugoslavia before it violently split into ethnic ministates, Afghanistan is a multiethnic country with no single dominant group. Its civil wars have further divided the country into strong enclaves of ethnic groups, most of which straddle the borders of neighboring countries.  In the north, Tajiks, Uzbeks and Turkmens have strong ties to adjacent ex-Soviet republics. The territory controlled by the anti-Taliban Northern Alliance corresponds almost exactly to the Tajik region. The Pashtuns, who form the bulk of the Taliban, spill over into Pakistan.  The Baluchis in the south have brethren in both Pakistan and Iran, and the Hazaras in the central region have Shi'ite religious ties to Iran.  A new conflagration in Afghanistan could result in a partition that enlarges adjacent states or splinters the country into new and even more unstable ethnic ministates. But Afghanistan is not simply like Yugoslavia.  Serbian and Croatian voters eventually ousted their ultranationalist leaders.  Their new countries have industrial economies, unlike impoverished Afghanistan which has long been forced to rely on an underground, illegal drug economy. Afghanistan is Colombia.  Just as all sides in the Colombian civil war have profited from the cocaine trade, all Afghan factions together form one of the global centers of the opium trade.  The U.S.-backed mujahadin rebels defeated the Soviets  partly by purchasing weapons with drug profits. Their successors in the Northern Alliance have continued the practice despite international pressure.  The Taliban also engage in drug trafficking, despite a generous U.S. grant of $43 million to aid us in the "drug war."  The outlaw tradition in Afghanistan is ideally suited for the drug warlord culture. But Afghanistan is not simply Colombia. Though Colombia is divided into government and rebel zones that intersect with narcotic fiefdoms, it at least has national institutions and national political parties. Afghanistan has little national identity apart from its resistance to outsiders, and no cohesion within its political factions. Afghanistan is Somalia.  From the outset of Washington's so-called "humanitarian intervention" in Somalia, U.S. forces divided the East African country into "good guys" and "bad guys."  Instead of working with clan elders to end clan warfare, it sided with one local warlord against another local warlord,  It is repeating the same basic error in Afghanistan, by backing the Northern Alliance and alienating the Pashtuns and their Pakistani allies. Not only has Afghanistan been divided into political, ethnic and clan factions, but each faction is itself divided.  The royalists were divided into factions that led to the 1973 ousting of King Zahir Shah. The pro-Soviet Communists were divided into Khalq (Masses) and Parcham (Flag) factions that killed each other. The mujahadin who ruled Kabul in 1992-96 also battled each other, opening the way for the Taliban takeover.  New schisms are becoming evident within both the Northern Alliance and the Taliban. U.S. forces may well topple the unpopular Taliban and install a paper government in Kabul, probably under the exiled King. But then their problems will only be beginning.  The King is 86 years old, with no clear successor.  Each of the political and ethnic factions will grab for power in a new government, and will deeply resent the U.S. if they do not get it. In the same way that U.S. support for the mujahadin planted the seeds of Osama Bin Laden,  U.S. support of a new Afghan resistance only guarantees continued instability for the region. The U.S. firepower directed against Afghanistan has already targeted civilian infrastructure such as power plants; are they also directed against water treatment plants in drought-stricken Afghanistan, like in Iraq? According to BBC reports, B-52s are "carpetbombing" the areas around the "terrorist camps," perhaps including the mountain caves to which many internal refugees have fled.  About halfway through the Yugoslav War, the Pentagon complained that it had used up all its initial Serbian targets; it is a fair bet that after one day of bombing Afghanistan that it has already used up all possible Taliban targets. It is one thing to isolate the Taliban from outside support, backed by an international tribunal on crimes against humanity. It is another thing entirely to be lured into what British journalist Robert Fisk has called the "trap" of massive retaliation.  When Osama Bin Laden launched his vicious attack on the U.S., he was not simply making a political statement, but was sending an engraved invitation to war in Afghanistan, a nation already littered with 10 million landmines from past wars. (Otherwise why not just attack the Pentagon?  Otherwise why assassinate the Northern Alliance leader?) Such a long, open-ended war would serve Bin Laden's agenda of polarizing the region, and plunging it into new Islamic revolts. By sending an RSVP of B-52s and loose talk about a new "crusade," President Bush is playing right along with Bin Laden's script.  Neither side really wants to win this war quickly, but wants to let a long conflict serve its own purposes.  The worst thing for Bin Laden would be for the U.S. to exercise restraint. The worst thing for Bush would be a quick capture of Bin Laden.  Like Saddam, Osama is worth more to the U.S. alive than dead, as a justification for crackdowns abroad and at home.

I would support this.  In fact, I wonder if we could put this on in conjunction with some other resources who could discuss Iraq issues and perhaps Afghan women's issues... maybe take the opportunity to discuss "the Broadening War."  A 45 minute opportunity is good, and maybe an afternoon or evening with a somewhat broader program would be even better! The following from The Observer's 9/30 article on "infinite War" bears thinking about: "The plans put before the President during the past few days involve expanding the war beyond Afghanistan to include similar incursions by special ops forces - followed by air strikes by the bombers they would guide - into Iraq, Syria and the Beqaa Valley area of Lebanon, where the Syrian-backed Hizbollah (Party of God) fighters that harass Israel are based. In Iraq, any site suspected of being a chemical weapons facility or proliferation plant of any threatening kind would be bombed, in an escalation of the almost weekly current harassment of Iraqi installations by British and US fighter jets. In Syria and Lebanon, as in Afghanistan, special ops would guide air strikes, and also be called on to mount guerrilla-style raids on training camps and to carry out assassinations. While a presidential executive order - which Bush is under pressure to revoke - bans overseas assassinations, the Pentagon points out that the US can act as it pleases in self-defence. If action in Lebanon led to an Israeli reinvasion of the southern part of the country, it would be supported by the US. Asked whether the Hamas organisation on the West Bank and in Gaza would be too controversial for inclusion among possible targets, one source said: 'never say never'." -x >--- Original Message --- >From: "x" <x> >To: x, x >Date: 10/22/01 12:28:59 PM > >Dear Action and Coordination committees, > >The Palestine Right to Return Coalition would like to offer the MAPC members >a teach-in on the Palestine/Israel conflict.

Hello, I know many people are worried about the "law and order" response to the Peace Parade scheduled for this coming Sat. (11/17) at 12:00 Noon outside the gates of Truax Air Force Base near MATC in Madison.  It is hard to predict what will happen.  Having been in lots of protests, I tend to prepare for the worst and I would encourage others to do the same.  No matter what we call the event - parade, vigil, protest, march, memorial, etc. etc. - the reaction may be exactly the same by the police. In terms of direct action, I agree with many others that the "least threatening" tactics are preferable.  Personally, I'm not in favor of blocking the gates, climbing the fence, or otherwise creating a situation where authorities feel compelled to respond and/or arrest people.  Of course, they could still pepperspray someone for merely carrying a bouquet of flowers - such are the times we live in... At any rate, three relatively "mellow" and somewhat "fun" direct action tactics people have been tossing around for Saturday's event include: 1.) Decorating the fence with statements of resistance, demands for peace, etc. etc. - this could include poems, quotes, balloons, paper cranes, posters, large photos of Afghani children, etc. etc.  This tactic worked very well in Quebec at the FTAA protests and got a lot of media coverage. 2.) Mock minefield with similar looking "cluster bombs" and "food packages" strewn along the roadside and entrance that people could pick up and discover their fate by reading the explanation on the bottom.  The UW Greens in conjunction with the International Campaing to Ban Landmines has done similar mock minefields on UW Library Mall with a good public response. 3.) Propaganda flights with people making paper "F-16s" out of copies of the UN Declaration of Human Rights, Geneva Convention, photos of refugees, etc. etc. and tossing them over the fence.  This tactic has been used by solidarity groups  - a common nickname is the "Zapatista Airforce." At any rate, these "mild" direct action tactics (and possible others) I hope can be discussed at the Student Youth Caucus meeting tonight and at the full MAPC meeting tomorrow.  Hopefully, there is enough space and trust within the coalition umbrella for such activities to occur.

Wisconsin State Journal, WIBA, Wisconsin Public Radio, WYOU, and Badger Herald attended.  So six of the 12 chairs set up for press were filled by the press, and two more were filled by some peace movement people who showed up in solidarity.  X and I were there to set up and coordinate.  X, X, X, X, and X spoke and answered questions. X and X represented MAPC very well. We are planning a press release for next week Wednesday or Thursday to prepare for the 17th. We have sent Fast information to around 100 church bulletins through Madison Urban Ministry. X (who pronounces her last name with a French accent) will represent Media this week at the coordcom meeting. I overspent on the Isthmus ad in order to guarantee placement on page five.  Ad cost $435.  You can tell me to eat the overage if you must, but it seemed like the right thing to do.  Ad will appear in the 11/15 Isthmus. In addition to writing a lot of releases and rewriting some others, X has produced a lot of photocopied material on Afghanistan. Some of it is in the press kits we prepared for today's news conference.  I think it would be nice if X or X had a copy of the press kit along to pass around and share what we gave the media today (X did a lot of the copy work and all the folder preparation on these). X is following up on X instructions that we get stuff on the Insurgent Radio Kiosk and a couple other bulletin boards. We've been really busy the last few weeks and I think it's starting to show in the media. _______________________________________________ coordination@madpeace.org http://lists.OpenSoftwareServices.com/mailman/listinfo/madpeace-cc September 11 Email: Date The local time and date when the message was written.

Title:    Humanitarian Priorities in Afghanistan A RESOLUTION regarding the urgent need to provide emergency humanitarian assistance and development assistance to civilians in Afghanistan, including Afghan refugees in surrounding countries. WHEREAS, a disastrous humanitarian crisis is underway, with an estimated 7.5 million people in Afghanistan facing critical food shortage or outright starvation this winter; and WHEREAS, 70 percent of these people are women and children, and the UN estimates 400,000 children under five will likely die this year, an increase of 100,000 over last year; and WHEREAS, food aid shipments have been disrupted because of U.S. bombing in Afghanistan; and WHEREAS, the aid agencies active in the region, including the Nobel laureate Doctors Without Borders (MSF), Oxfam International and the World Food Program have stated that the U.S. food drops can not meet the increasing and urgent need for assistance; and WHEREAS, Madison now participates directly and indirectly in U.S. military efforts through many channels, including the federal taxes its citizens pay, and through its citizens' participation in the armed forces; and WHEREAS, the Mayor and Madison Common Council are appalled at the mass starvation that will result from these actions to which they are a party if the situation is not speedily addressed; and WHEREAS, the Mayor and Madison Common Council deplore the dishonor such an outcome would be for the victims of the terrorist attacks of September 11th; NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED THAT the Mayor and Madison Common Council support a resolution to the situation that minimizes loss of life; and BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED THAT humanitarian concerns must now be a top priority for U.S. policy toward Afghanistan, especially as there exists a narrow window of opportunity for supplying food to the region's population before winter makes this difficult or impossible.  The Mayor and Madison Common Council call on the federal government to defer to the judgement of international aid agencies that a cessation in bombing is necessary to avoid humanitarian disaster; and BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED THAT the Mayor and Madison Common Council call on Afghanistan's neighbors to immediately reopen their borders to allow for the safe passage of refugees, and call on the U.S. federal government and other members of the international community to prepare to contribute to the economic costs incurred by the flight of desperate Afghan civilians; and BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED THAT the Mayor and Madison Common Council call on the U.S. federal government to actively support the work of various agencies to deliver assistance in Afghanistan, particularly through overland truck convoys, and to support safe humanitarian access to affected populations, in partnership with humanitarian agencies, in quantities sufficient to alleviate a large scale humanitarian catastrophe; and BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED THAT the Mayor and Madison Common Council call on the U.S. federal government to contribute to efforts by the international community to provide long-term, sustainable reconstruction and development assistance for the people of Afghanistan, including efforts to protect the basic human rights of women and children; and BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED THAT the Mayor and Madison Common Council call on the international community to support democratic processes in Afghanistan leading to a government which represents all its people, including women. BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED THAT the Mayor and Madison Common Council, on behalf of the people of Madison, in solidarity with the international community and in their capacity as citizens of the United States, urge the U.S. federal government to put humanitarian concerns first in its policies and actions overseas.  Furthermore, the Mayor and Madison Common Council will consider the U.S. federal government responsible for both the direct consequences of its military actions in Afghanistan and for unintended, indirect results of its actions leading to humanitarian crises in Afghanistan and the surrounding region.

Folks - Please read the following message before circulating any further the piece about Nancy Oden being detained at an airport in Maine.    The facts in the case are unclear - and we've decided to withhold any judgment about the case until we can get to the bottom of it.  Appearances are that the incident has been way overblown.  This said, the police riot in Hartford last week was a fairly serious incident, and very well-documented, and clearly DID target Green Party leadership in town, as well as other organizers in the local movement. Anyway, here's an alternative point of view from Walt Sheasby, a California Green: The Nov. 3 article from the Bangor Daily News seems to establish that Nancy Oden was not targetted because of having been flagged in a computer search. If that were the case, it would have profound consequences, and the small incident at the Bangor airport would be a harbinger of an even worse stampede toward a police state than Bush and the Republicrats have urged. The exaggeration of the hassle caused by Nancy Oden's apparent ire at being screened (something we all sympathize with) into a case of being apprehended by a computer plugged into the FBI's Most Wanted List of terrorists and their supporters is indefensible, and the GPUSA owes an apology to all anti-war groups. Crying "wolf!" in these difficult times is very irresponsible. As far as is known at this time, no U.S. anti-war or anti-globalization have been put on the list created by the FBI for the Patriot Act implementation. A similar alarmist report to GPUSA's has been made recently that the "Anarchist Faction" has been targeted on the new list. Actually, this is a specific group in Greece which has been responsible for bombings and assassinations. They have nothing whatsoever to do with the anti-capitalist globalization protests. The full and proper name of the group is "The Anarchist Faction for Subversion." The Patriot Act must be repealed, and the left must unify in demanding this from our representatives in Congress. But exaggeration has never been of any help, and paranoia only serves the cause of the "terrorists" holed up at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. Together we can smoke them from their cave, and that means a united campaign for the Presidency in 2004 by the Green Party of the United States and its supporters. And in 2002 there must be hundreds of anti-war candidates running as Greens. This will be our best chance to turn around public opinion and make sure that it is the hawks of war who are targeted as Public Enemies. Viva la Causa Verde! Walt Contreras Sheasby LEADER OF GREEN SPLINTER GROUP FIBS ABOUT AIRPORT HASSLE In an official press release from its Chicago headquarters, the Greens/Green Party USA, a small splinter group that opposes recognition of the Green Party of the United States as the electoral voice of the movement that ran Ralph Nader for President in 2000, declared that one of its leaders was stopped from boarding a flight after a check turned up her name was on a computer list because the organization opposes the U.S. bombing of Afhanistan. The release said: <Armed government agents grabbed Nancy Oden, Green Party USA coordinating committee member, Thursday at Bangor International Airport in Bangor Maine, as she attempted to board an American Airlines flight to Chicago. "An official told me that my name had been flagged in the computer," a shaken Oden said. "I was targeted because the Green Party USA opposes the bombing of innocent civilians in Afghanistan."> The press release was relayed around the nation as a first signal of the reach of the new draconian Patriot Act. But it turns out that Nancy Oden was apparently not barred because of a computer check, but because she did not comply with standard screening for weapons. While who said what is not clear, it appears that her name was not flagged by a computer search of potential terrorists or their supporters, according to a news report in the Bangor Daily News on Nov. 3. While the undue harassment of airline travelers is to be condemned, it does not seem that this incident warrants fears of a major violation of Constitutional guarantees of free speech, as it first appeared. The group that Nancy Oden leads is nevertheless using the incident to draw attention and support to itself. One member of the group's National Council urged: <The first thing to do is to organize a committee, include spokesperson/ spokespersons. Contact civil liberties organizations including the National Lawyers Guild, the ACLU ... Ask organizaitons to sponsor defense committee- Seek prominent attorney who may need to have a license to practice in Maine- Send releases out every day. Has Ralph Nader been contacted? What about Phil Donahue CONTACT TALK SHOWS. TRY TO GET POLITICIANS TO SUPPORT, Barbara Lee. Organizations in Maine who know Nancy and will back her up.> If the incident had taken place as Nancy Oden described it, it would mean that other Green activists and leaders of other anti-war groups would also be on computer lists and barred from flying, which reportedly has not been the case. The exaggeration of her victimization may only serve to discredit opposition to the Bush Administration's attack on civil liberties. It may also further isolate the Green Party USA, which saw a majority of delegates at its July 20 National Convention leave to form a new Green Alliance, which has its first convention in New Orleans January 18-21. From the Bangor Daily News, Nov. 3, 2001: http://www.bangornews.com/editorialnews/article.html?ID=44958 Green Party activist denied Chicago flight BANGOR â¤" Green Party activist Nancy Oden was grounded at Bangor International Airport on Thursday after reportedly becoming uncooperative when she was targeted for additional screening. Oden, who said she believed she was singled out for extra scrutiny because of her activist past and public opposition to the current war effort, was on her way to Chicago to attend a Green Party USA meeting when airline personnel told her that she had been selected to undergo added security screening before boarding. â¤oeI was treated if I were guilty just because Iâ¤(tm)m a dissident and I speak out,â¤? Oden, a middle-aged woman who sits on the partyâ¤(tm)s national coordinating committee, said from her Jonesboro home after she had abandoned her travel plans. â¤oeTheyâ¤(tm)re looking at me like Iâ¤(tm)m a terrorist and Iâ¤(tm)m just a peaceful person trying to go to a meeting in Chicago.â¤? Since the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, security has been tightened at all the nationâ¤(tm)s airports â¤" including BIA, where armed National Guardsmen monitor the screening area and passenger lists are checked against the FBIâ¤(tm)s terrorist watch list. Officials at BIA and American Eagle Airlines have a much different account of Odenâ¤(tm)s afternoon run-in with the added security. â¤oeShe was uncooperative during the screening process,â¤? said American Eagle spokesman Kurt Iverson, who added that Oden reportedly would not stand still when security staff tried to wave a metal-detecting wand over her. â¤oeObviously if they canâ¤(tm)t submit to screening, [Federal Aviation Administration] regulations require that they not be allowed to board the plane.â¤? Oden said that while she asked security staff not to touch her with the wand, she did allow them to complete their search of both her person and her baggage. Oden said that she did pull away from a National Guardsman when he grabbed her left arm and asked her if she â¤oeknew what happened on September 11,â¤? she said. While acknowledging that Oden was singled out for added extensive screening, authorities said it was more likely due to the manner in which she purchased her ticket than for her activist past. Under newly adopted FAA regulations, more passengers â¤" either randomly or based on a computerized profile â¤" are being targeted for more intense screening during the boarding process. While industry officials were unwilling to release the criteria under which they would profile a passenger, they said the criteria did not include federally protected characteristics such as race, religion, age or sex. Without providing details, interim airport director Rebecca Hupp said that the FAA guidelines â¤oehave more to do with the ticket than the person.â¤? For instance, one airline official said, a passenger who pays cash for a ticket the day of the flight would likely undergo added scrutiny. Oden bought her nonrefundable ticket online, she said. While an FBI spokeswoman would neither confirm nor deny the presence of any name on the terrorist watch list â¤" another trigger for added security response â¤" one law enforcement source said it was â¤oeextremely unlikelyâ¤? Oden was on the list of potential terrorists because her name is unknown to the FBI. After the incident, Oden was told she could not take her scheduled flight to Chicago, and that she could not travel on any other airline at the airport that day. â¤oeIf I had done something wrong, they should have arrested me instead of denying me my right to travel,â¤? an upset Oden said Friday. â¤oeWeâ¤(tm)re losing more of our rights and people donâ¤(tm)t realize it.â¤?

Title A name given to the resource Madison Area Peace Coalition E-mails Description An account of the resource The Madison Area Peace Coalition (MAPC) formed fourteen days after the September 11 attacks to oppose (among other goals) the use of U.S. military, economic, or political force – whether direct or proxy, overt or covert -- "that violates the sovereignty or human rights of any nation or people." The Archive has assembled here e-mails exchanges from MAPC dating from the group's founding until late November 2001. September 11 Email September 11 Email: Body The basic content, as unstructured text; sometimes containing a signature block at the end. Dear Friends: A great tragedy has befallen our nation. A catastrophe that leaves none of our lives untouched. Many innocent lives were lost due to a senseless act of terror and violence. Although this horriffic event may outrage many, and rightly so, it cannot be justified or corrected through more violence. Another senseless act in retaliation will not repair the damage done, nor bring back those who were lost. It will only perpetuate a violent, barbaric cycle fueled by hatred and ignorance. The perpetrators of these crimes must be caught and brought to justice, but without the continued loss of innocent life. President Bush, We the undersigned encourage you to take responsible, peaceful action in bringing the terrorists to justice. Please seriously consider the negative ramifications of continued killing and perpetuating the cycle of violence. Although many lives have already been lost, MANY MORE CAN STILL BE SAVED. 1. X 2.
