With all due respect, the folks on the co-ordinating committee may not be aware of this, but I would like to note that the action committee has a plan for emergency actions, including each of us having specific jobs assigned for every detail. If someone unilaterally comes up with a whole new plan at the last moment, that means starting over from scratch to (1) discuss the plan and (2) assign people to implement it--all within a few hours. In my opinion: huge waste of time. If we are to have emergency actions (which I understand is an if) we need to stick to the plan--or make a new one *in advance*--so that the only thing left to do when the action is called, is implement it. I am not attached to the existing plan, but whatever the plan is we shouldn't try to alter it at the last second. Discussion? Disagreement? Pies in the face? My intent is not to offend but to be efficient and avoid saddling any individual with an overwhelming burden of organizing everything. Regarding the very concept of emergency actions, I think the AC was thinking about events that would be so overwhelmingly dramatic/traumatic that there would be an overwhelming desire to get out there and do something. I definitely don't think anyone was imagining that there should be emergency actions at every turn. Probably we should remove "invasion" from the list of actions and stick to (1) extension of bombing to a new country, (2) murder or arson in our community or (3) another massive violent attack on US soil with instant mass casualties. I'm also open to dropping the whole concept. Whatever you all think. X September 11 Email: Date The local time and date when the message was written.

IN THIS MESSAGE: The Liberty for US War Criminals Act; Pakistan Panics Over Threat to Arsenal; The War We Cannot Win; War on Terror Becomes War on Afghanistan http://www.ahram.org.eg/weekly/2001/558/4war1.htm Al-Ahram Weekly Online        Issue No.558              1 - 7 November 2001 Alienable Rights      The American Service-members Protection Act (ASPA) authorises      the US to use force to "liberate" any US or allied persons detained on      behalf of the proposed International Criminal Court (ICC), which will be      based in The Hague, Netherlands.      By Amira Howeidy  We all knew it was coming. Last Friday, US President George W Bush signed an anti-terrorism bill that proposes sweeping new powers for the FBI, extending the agency's ability to search citizens, wire-tap telephone lines and eavesdrop on the Internet. The period of detention allowed for a foreign citizen suspected of terrorist activities has also be increased. The bill -- which has raised concerns over the meaning of civil liberties in the post 11 September age -- came as no surprise to rights advocates in the US and elsewhere. The US-led alliance's "war on terrorism," now in the fourth week of its offensive against Afghanistan, bypassed internationally-recognised channels of legitimacy such as the United Nations and its Security Council. The result: hundreds or perhaps thousands of Afghan civilians may have been killed (no accurate numbers have been released because the Pentagon says it still doesn't know). But the "war on terror" has meant more than the loss of innocent lives: it has included a myriad of other measures. The blocking of information and images from the war in Afghanistan from reaching the American public, for example. There has also been widespread discrimination against Arabs (and other people of Middle Eastern appearance) both by officials (at Western airports and airlines) and by the Western public. Approximately 900 "suspects" -- most of whom are Arabs-- have been arrested in relation to the 11 September attacks. In the struggle against "terror," several laws have been bypassed, leading to what civil liberties advocates have described as a serious threat to human rights. The media debate on the choice between "freedom" and "security" -- which is raging in Germany and elsewhere -- reflects the chilling options now facing Western societies. But has the choice been made already? FBI and Justice Department investigators, frustrated by their failure to extract confessions from four suspects, are contemplating resorting to "pressure" according to a report in the Washington Post on 21 October. Among the alternative strategies under discussion are extracting information using drugs or other pressure tactics, such as those occasionally employed by Israeli interrogators, according to the article. Another idea is to extradite suspected terrorists to US-allied countries in which security services can employ threats to family members or resort to torture. And last Sunday, the same newspaper reported that the CIA is contemplating pursuing an assassination policy of individuals -- a policy that could extend beyond Bin Laden and members of Al-Qa'ida. Meanwhile, the US State Department -- taking advantage of the frenzy and confusion that followed the terrorist acts -- endorsed the American Service-members Protection Act (ASPA) on November 5. The legislation authorises the US to use force to "liberate" any US or allied persons detained on behalf of the proposed International Criminal Court (ICC), which will be based in The Hague, Netherlands. It also prohibits US military assistance to those states that ratify the ICC treaty except for NATO members and some major non-NATO allies. The New York based Human Rights Watch described the new law as an attempt to undermine the establishment of a permanent war crimes court. "The United States is forging a global coalition against terrorism, and the State Department has just endorsed a bill that authorises an invasion of the Netherlands," said Richard Dicker, director of the International Justice Programme at HRW. "This makes no sense. It hardly seems like a good moment for the US to be threatening sanctions against dozens of countries simply because they want to bring to justice the perpetrators of crimes against humanity." For many, it is difficult to find any sense in this new reality. The US Coalition's use of force, for example, appears to be contrary to established international law. This is the case according to William Schabas, director of the Irish Centre for Human Rights. "The use of force is prohibited by the United Nations Charter (art. 2 (4)), except in two circumstances: self defence (art. 51) and Security Council action under Chapter VII (art. 42)," says Schabas. "It does not allow the use of force for the purpose of "retaliation." Schabas told Al- Ahram Weekly that "the US-led alliance seems to find support for its action by invoking the right of self-defence rather than the right to retaliate. This is a broad and exaggerated interpretation of the right of self-defence." Normally, he argued, a person (or a state) acting in genuine self-defence is very clear in explaining and justifying its behaviour on this basis. "But the US and UK, with their talk of retaliation, reprisal, 'bringing terrorists to justice' and so on, invoke grounds that are not really compatible with the concept of self-defence." Schabas acknowledged that the US does enjoy self-defence rights but pointed out that its actions must be conditioned by "proportionality" and by what is necessary to protect itself from attack. In his words, "the US seems to be taking a view that in the name of the war on terrorism it has the right to attack (or 'counterattack') any country it suspects of being insufficiently unsympathetic to terrorism. In effect, this is the legal window dressing of the pax Americana, a justification to attack any country that the US doesn't like, and at any time." To Schabas, one of the unfortunate consequences of all of this is the "marginalisation of the United Nations, which should in fact be taking the lead according to its noble role under the UN Charter." Perhaps it was with this super-power mentality in mind that the US Congress adopted the anti- terrorism bill. According to the American Civil Liberties Union Freedom Network (ACLU), "the bill was adopted in near record time with only one public hearing and little debate." "All this will have terrible repercussions," was the response of International Law Professor Kamal Abul-Magd. "If the law doesn't give you protection, you are more likely to take the law in your hands." To observers in the Middle East, the new US laws seem to be a glaring paradox. In this part of the world, the anti-terrorism bill sounded like all- too-familiar a tune. "It's almost identical to the 'emergency laws' faithfully adopted by Third World regimes," says Dawoud Al-Shoryan, a columnist for the London-based Arabic daily Al- Hayat. For many years, the US State Department's Human Rights desk has itself issued annual reports clearly condemning such governments and their "freedom tying" policies, human rights abuses and violations in the name of the emergency law. To El-Shoryan and many others, it seems like the US is now taking such "backward regimes" as their role model. He expressed fear that the American "emergency law" will eventually "become an incubator that will lead to similar laws being issued in several other countries, if Washington seeks to extend its application within its anti-terrorism coalition." It may not be all doom and gloom, however. After all, says Rights Activist Gasser Abdel- Razek, a stronger global movement seems to be emerging as a result of the September 11 attacks. "It will take different forms, understandably, such as anti-war, human rights, environmental, and anti-globalisation," said Abdel-Razek. "But it will definitely be more critical of Western (that is, US) hegemony, even if its supporters don't call it that." ==================================================== The Sunday Times (London)                                November 4, 2001 Pakistan panics over threat to arsenal      By Tony Allen-Mills Washington Fears of fundamentalist upheaval in Pakistan have aroused concerns in Washington that part or all of Islamabad's arsenal of nuclear weapons may have to be moved to China for safekeeping from foreign attack. Pakistan's military establishment was said last week to have been shaken by reports that America, India or Israel might be planning pre-emptive strikes on nuclear sites to prevent weapons falling into fundamentalist hands. "The generals are panic-stricken," said one Pakistani source. The threat to weapons widely regarded as the Pakistan military's "crown jewels" has forced Islamabad to consider what one American expert described as the "ultimate worst-case scenario" of removing warheads to China, Pakistan's closest strategic ally in the region. The prospect that loose warheads might be loaded onto helicopters or moved around a region foaming with fundamentalist turmoil is adding to fears in Washington that the war in Afghanistan might provoke a nuclear crisis. Abdul Sattar, the Pakistani foreign minister, insisted last week the arsenal was secure. But Washington officials have expressed mounting alarm that any coup attempt against General Pervez Musharraf, the military president, might put Pakistan's nuclear arsenal at risk. Pakistani generals were appalled by one authoritative American report last week that an elite Pentagon undercover unit, trained to disarm nuclear weapons, was exploring plans for a mission inside Pakistan. "Every paranoid fear they have had over the past 20 years about people coming to get our missiles is suddenly coming to the fore," said Zia Mian, a Pakistani physicist and authority on the nuclear programme. China's nuclear relations with Pakistan have long been the focus of controversy. Chinese scientists are believed to have played a key role in developing Pakistan's nuclear programme in the early 1980s. The two countries share a mistrust of India, which has also developed nuclear weapons. In the 1990s relations between Beijing and Washington were strained when American officials discovered that China had supplied Islamabad with magnetic components for a centrifuge used in enriching uranium, a material used in warheads. US experts believe that Pakistan possesses between 30 and 50 warheads. Islamabad has also developed facilities for making weapons-grade plutonium. The precise locations of Pakistan's nuclear weapons are highly secret. Several Washington sources said last week that senior Pakistani officers had been forced to consider a range of scenarios, from thefts of weapon materials to US bombing raids on nuclear facilities. The arrest in Pakistan of three nuclear scientists with alleged Taliban sympathies heightened concern that bomb-making secrets may have leaked to Afghanistan. But even under extreme duress, several US sources said, many elements of the Pakistani military would resist surrendering custody of their warheads to China. The risks of any deal with China are obvious. China is certain to be deeply wary of being linked to fundamentalist conflict. Yet American experts believe that Beijing represents the only haven that Pakistan would dare to trust. In a bid to defuse concern, US officials are understood to have offered Pakistan high-tech assistance to improve the security of missile vaults and update both command and control communications, and the multiple-code custody arrangements that theoretically prevent rogue missile launches. The issue was discussed by General Colin Powell, the US secretary of state, during his recent visit to Pakistan. A State Department official said last week Washington was "confident that Pakistan is taking steps to assure the safety of these (nuclear) assets". But other American sources said Pakistan was reluctant to accept US technology for fear that it might be bugged by the CIA in order to establish the whereabouts of warheads. The threat that Osama Bin Laden may acquire nuclear bomb-making materials is weighing heavily on American officials. "Nobody in the Bush administration wants to be held responsible if Al-Qaeda gets a nuke," said George Perkovich, an Asian nuclear programme expert, who has urged the State Department to include China in talks on Pakistan's nuclear problems. "They are working their asses off on this," he said. ======================================================= http://www.msnbc.com/news/652509.asp#BODY November 5, 2001 Priority: Pakistan's Nukes      If Taliban sympathizers overthrow Pervez Musharraf's regime,      U.S. Marines are standing by to move in      By John Barry, Newsweek International Nov. 12 issue - The 2,200 troops of the 15th Marine Expeditionary Unit are cooped up on the assault ship USS Peleliu, presumably itching for action. If they ever go ashore, it's as likely to be in Pakistan as Afghanistan. Given serious trouble in Pakistan - if, say, President Pervez Musharraf were overthrown by forces friendly to the Taliban and Osama bin Laden - the Marines would be charged with protecting and evacuating Americans and other Westerners. But sources have told Newsweek the Marines could also be sent on a more momentous and desperate mission: safeguarding Pakistanís nuclear weapons and materials, to keep them away from bin Laden. Whether the Marines would actually be needed for such a task, and whether they could pull it off, remains unclear. Sources say Musharraf has strengthened security at Pakistanís nuclear facilities since September 11. Last week his foreign minister, Abdul Sattar, insisted the nukes were "under foolproof custodial controls." Musharraf also has purged Taliban sympathizers from the top ranks of the military and his intelligence agency. But recently the military regime had to detain two scientists who played key roles in the development of Pakistan's nuclear weapons - and turned out to be Taliban supporters. The two men, Bashir ud Din Mahmoud and Chowdhury Mohammed Amjad, retired after Pakistan's nuclear test in 1998 and founded an Afghan relief organization. What they could offer bin Laden, in theory, is inside knowledge of the Pakistani nuclear program - security procedures, the number and location of warheads and the names of current staff members who might be sympathetic to Al Qaeda. By one estimate, Pakistan has enough nuclear material to make 30 to 50 bombs or warheads. How many have actually been made isn't known, but even unassembled parts could be dangerous. A "radiological weapon" - a conventional explosive device used to scatter radioactive particles - would be nearly as devastating as an actual nuclear bomb, producing fallout that could render an American city uninhabitable for years. The material could come from a weapons program or a civilian facility, such as a nuclear power plant. Pakistan's nuclear weapons are dispersed across several secret locations, and some elements of the armed forces surely would resist any attempt by foreigners to take control of them. But if it comes to that, a shootout with Pakistan might be preferable to nuclear terrorism in the United States. With Tony Clifton, Ron Moreau and Zahid Hussain in Islamabad ======================================================= Dear EmailNation Subscriber, An internationally acclaimed author of eighteen novels, John LeCarre is also an astute political observer. In an exclusive essay published in the November 19, 2001 issue of The Nation, LeCarre insists that the US's current war on terrorism, rather than vanquishing the terrorist threat, is in fact likely to increase it. As he writes, "What America is storing up for herself...is yet more enemies; because after all the bribes, threats and promises that have patched together the rickety coalition, we cannot prevent another suicide bomber being born each time a misdirected missile wipes out an innocent village, and nobody can tell us how to dodge this devil's cycle of despair, hatred and -- yet again -- revenge."

The substitution of Afghanistan for terrorism, or the identification of the one with the other, is not only unjust but diverts U.S. policy from where it was intended to go, to where it is the most simple to go. Afghanistan has been substituted for terrorism because Afghanistan is accessible to military power, and terrorism is not. The employment of high-tech munitions against irrelevant targets is a distraction from measures that actually deal with the threat. "War" is feasible against Qaida, the clandestine association of like-minded Muslim fundamentalists led by Osama bin Laden, because it is a matter of police and intelligence work. Remarkable progress has been made during the last four weeks, thanks to unprecedented international cooperation. However, Qaida is not identical with terrorism. Nor is bin Laden himself, even though Washington has cast him as the personification of evil. Terrorism is simply a form of violent political action, with political motives and objectives, and it is a recurrent phenomenon in history. Washington's inability to track down and seize or kill bin Laden is why the Taliban government has been substituted as America's enemy. The Kabul government's defiance is in turn responsible for the situation of frustration in which the United States finds itself, and which threatens to prove a damaging setback in more than one respect. Fear of American air attacks have provoked a huge exodus of refugees from Afghanistan. The country is already suffering the consequences of a drought that has crippled its agriculture. The attacks themselves have made it all but impossible for relief agencies to go into the country. Misdirected bombings that have twice hit International Red Cross relief depots add to the misery the United States is inflicting upon these people, and for which international opinion holds it responsible. The utility of the bombings is hard to defend. It was believed able to bring down the Taliban government, but that is not happening. There is no reason whatever to expect more bombs to make the Taliban authorities hand over bin Laden. The administration itself lacks confidence that an eventual ground expedition will seize him; Afghanistan is not Panama. The original plan depended less on bombing than on organization of the existing military and political opposition; cutting off the support Pakistan was giving to the regime; and enlistment of the country's other neighbors, including Iran, all with ethnic or religious clients inside Afghanistan. The authority of the former king and the United Nations was to underwrite a new coalition government. This plan has suffered a series of setbacks, and official Washington is rapidly losing interest in political solutions. There is an increasing disposition toward brute force, and the use of whatever allies are at hand, even if that threatens to leave Afghanistan in chaos, and the war on terrorism stranded. One might think it sensible to change a policy that is failing, but that is not the case in a government whose primordial motivation is to appease Congress and the media. Although bin Laden has not been found, operations against Qaida seem to be going well. An extensive apparatus for tracking terrorist communications, organizations and funding is being put into place. The United States and its allies could take advantage of these successes, and of the arrival of Ramadan and Afghanistan's harsh winter to suspend the bombings. The situation in Afghanistan and among Washington's Muslim allies could be allowed to evolve over the winter months. The result might prove constructive. Washington might take the time to reflect on its responsibility, which is to deal intelligently with the terrorist threat to the United States. Bin Laden and his group are merely instances of that threat. If he is killed, he will be replaced. The causes of terrorism will remain, and they are political. Afghanistan and its people are no threat to the United States, but they are th e ones taking the full weight of America's indignation. The administration's priorities are upside-down.

BOOKSELLERS THREATENED BY FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE SURVEILLANCE ACT For Immediate Release: November 15, 2001 Rainbow Bookstore Cooperative recently received a letter from the American Booksellers Foundation for Free Expression (ABFFE) concerning the chilling effects on booksellers of the new antiterrorism bill that President Bush just signed into law. If the bookstore were served with a court order under the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) to search our business records, including the titles of books purchased by our customers, we would have no right to object in court or the court of public opinion. The new law includes a gag order that prevents us from disclosing "to any other person" the fact that we received such an order. The ABFFE says that depending on the specifics of the subpoena, the gag order could extend to contact with an attorney! No right to legal counsel is outrageous but is suddenly a very real and terrifying possibility. This terrifying encroachment on the privacy rights of citizens is itself a form of terrorism. "Terrorism", according to the New Shorter Oxford English Dictionary, is defined as "…the systematic employment of violence and intimidation to coerce a government or community, especially, into acceding to specific political demands". President Bushs declaration of a war on terrorism and subsequent military actions, combined with the presumption that U.S. citizens should willingly surrender our civil liberties for the good of the country certainly constitutes such a political demand. The FBI shows up at your home or workplace, demands information and refuses to let you contact legal counsel would sound like coercion and intimidation to most people. With the passage of the new antiterrorism legislation, if you dont cooperate, if you resist, your freedom and livelihood will be in jeopardy. Ironically, the first definition of the word "terrorist" in my dictionary refers to the Jacobins, the radicals during the French Revolution who "advocated and practiced methods of partisan repression and bloodshed in the propagation of the principles of democracy and equality". The prospect of increasing "partisan repression" at home and "bloodshed" abroad, in the name of democracy, a founding principle of this country as well as in France, is our new terrifying reality. We must collectively take a stand to defend our democratic rights, which includes the right to protest our government, oppose the war, and the right to read whatever we want . The new reactionary political climate, highlighted by the passage of FISA, dangerously expands the decade long government assault on our civil liberties and democratic freedoms. The danger to booksellers is just one small part of this new landscape. What are the repercussions for anti-war groups, people of color, immigrants, WTO/World Bank/IMF protesters, anarchists and radical activists of all stripes, progressive media outlets-any person or group who challenges the status quo-under these new laws? Do we even know? The right to political dissent is at stake. Generations have struggled to expand our democratic rights at home and a new generation hopes to extend them globally. This new global justice movement is threatened by our governments "employment of violence and intimidation" at home and abroad. We are sending this urgent appeal to our friends and allies in the media. We urge you to contact X, President of ABFFE, at X, for more information. Research the implications of this law. Make public the threats to our democracy in the name of "Homeland Security". We need more information, not less, during these dangerous times. In Solidarity X Rainbow Bookstore Cooperative 426 W.

It's maddening that he's trying to get credit for a past anti-war stance, while firmly siding with the status quo now.    The Nation's Katha Pollitt recently stated that this war is not like Vietnam.  She took potshots at the peace movement, and repeated the mantra: this war is justified self defense.  Then in the end she agreed it's a stupid and wrong-headed approach, exactly as she initially characterized Vietnam.    Castro's speech handed out at the last Socialist Potluck showed some valid parallels between this war and Vietnam.  The vague goal, the unidentifiable enemy, and now the advisors going in.    September 11th is functioning as a pretext, and people won't acknowledge it.  Several thousand Americans are killed, so that gives us the right to starve several MILLION Afghanis?  That gives us the right to wage war against any number of countries, and use WHATEVER methods and weapons we want?    How can we tap into Americans' belief that Vietnam was wrong, so that they will see this war is wrong in the same way? _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp _______________________________________________ discuss@madpeace.org mailing list http://lists.OpenSoftwareServices.com/mailman/listinfo/madpeace-discuss September 11 Email: Date The local time and date when the message was written.

Engage in conversation, and ask if military force is appropriate.   2. When he says "No," ask, "Why not?"   3. Wait until he says something to the effect of -  "Because that would just cause more innocent deaths, which would be awful and we should not cause more violence."   4. When he's in mid sentence, punch him in the face as hard as you can.   5. When he gets back up to punch you, point out that it would be a mistake and contrary to his values to strike you,  because that would be awful and he should not cause more violence.   6. Wait until he agrees, and has pledged not to commit additional violence.   7. Punch him in the face again, harder this time.
