I think your suggestion has a lot of promise, X; however, I am concerned about coordinating it for this week's meeting.  I think if we do it, it might make more sense for this particular meeting to focus on the events coming up, rather than the general, sweeping tasks, like poster distribution or creation.  I think the events are more "gelling" as forces and focii to catch people's interest ("hey, I could work on that...") and to allow for communication, teamwork, etc.  It would be overwhelming for a group to discuss creating or distributing flyers for three events, while looking at the holistic effort for one event has a managability. If anyone likes this suggestion, that we (at least for this week) break into working groups based on event Nov 17, art auction, Nov 30, etc, etc, with perhaps the addition of the brochure or website improvement, I would be more than happy to facilitate the Nov 30 event group.  To tell you the truth, I'd feel pretty overhwhelmed myself to work on any of the other thematic groups you suggested --I'm game, but I wouldn't feel nearly as comfortable.  Feedback?

ACTIVISM Never, Never, Never Give Up From war hero to pacifist Stephanie Salter, Chronicle Columnist    Sunday, November 4, 2001 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---- During the year Charlie Liteky spent in Lompoc federal prison, he lost 26 pounds, marked his 70th birthday, listened to the life stories of inmates one- third his age and worshipped weekly in a Lakota Sioux sweatlodge. A former Catholic priest and Vietnam War hero, Liteky also did a great deal of reading about Dorothy Day, the founder of the Catholic Worker Movement and an outspoken pacifist until her death in 1980 at the age of 83. "I knew about her, of course, but I never realized the extent of her pacifism or how controversial it made her," said Liteky. "She remained a pacifist throughout World War II. It cost her a lot of friends and supporters even in her own movement. That's a kind of courage that's rare." Liteky knows more than the average person about courage -- and controversy. As an Army chaplain in Vietnam, he dragged 23 wounded soldiers to safety during a firefight in Ben Hoa province in 1967. For that he received the Medal of Honor, our nation's highest award for combat heroism. Twenty years later, married and no longer a priest, Liteky left his medal at the base of the Vietnam Memorial in Washington to protest U.S. aid to the Contras in Nicaragua. He'd already tried a 47-day, water-only fast on the steps of the Capitol with another vet. It left both of them near death. In 1990, Liteky and his wife, Judy, a former Catholic nun who had introduced Charlie to the world of peace activism, were drawn to small protests at the School of the Americas in Fort Benning, Ga. A training ground for U.S.-backed Latin American warriors (and the occasional assassin and dictator), the school now attracts tens of thousands of protesters each November. Those who "cross the line" and trespass on the base are often arrested. The last time Charlie crossed, he was rewarded with a maximum sentence: two consecutive six-month terms in the Federal Correctional Institute at Lompoc. Fellow parishioners at the Litekys' San Francisco church, St. John of God, helped Judy finance monthly visits to the prison 30 miles north of Santa Barbara. A college math teacher, she became Charlie's eyes, ears and voice at School of the Americas protest rallies and fundraisers. Charlie spent his last 70 days in Lompoc in solitary because he refused to work for what he considers an immoral prison industry. Visits with Judy were brief and very public. She watched the relatives of other prisoners -- almost all of them young, in prison for drug-related crimes -- try to maintain some shred of family structure. "It's a shock," said Judy. "The parents, grandparents -- to see little kids waiting -- just the intensity of their bodies -- waiting for Dad to come out of this hallway from behind steel doors. I kept thinking: We can do better than this." Charlie was released in July. His plan, after a spate of speaking engagements, was to write a book about his year in prison in the context of all he has learned about U.S. foreign policy since Vietnam. Since Sept. 11, though, he has found it hard to make time for the book; his message of peaceful conflict resolution has taken on a whole new dimension. Questions from audiences are more confrontational and demanding. After a speech in Sacramento, where he spoke about struggling to respond to violence without violence, he wrote to President Bush. "I'd talked that night about my own arduous journey toward non-violence -- emotionally, spiritually, every way," he said. "I told the president that I hoped before he proceeded, he'd recall what we did in Vietnam, in Panama, all the innocent lives we've taken while seeking what we thought to be legitimate ends." Liteky asked Bush to ask himself if the United States was "in any way responsible" for the terrorist attacks in New York and Washington, to remember that our economic sanctions alone "are starving 5,000 Iraqi kids to death each month." He also shared a major theme of his post-Sept. 11 message: "If there is any enemy here, it's violence. We need to protest and boycott violence because we eat, drink and sleep it in our country; we are entertained by it. If we don't stop, we're just going to join in an unending cycle of violence, like an escalator that keeps going up and up and up." On Nov. 16, the Litekys plan to travel to Fort Benning once again to protest the School of the Americas (now called the Western Hemisphere Institute for Security Cooperation). Neither intends to cross the line this year, but future arrests, especially for Charlie, are likely. "When I was in Lompoc, I was thinking maybe I could retire after my 70th birthday," Liteky said with a wry smile. "But then I look at Dorothy Day -- my God, I've got at least 10 more years to go."

Charlie Liteky will address the Commonwealth Club of California in San Francisco on Tuesday at 5:15 p.m. Information: 415/597-6700 or www.commonwealthclub.org. _______________________________________________ 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.

Dear WFA Colleagues, I agree with X that the bombing is not illegal, but I gather that on every other point I would agree with Heather. The bombing is legal under article 51 of the UN Charter. It is a fact that the United States was attacked and continues to be threatened, and consequently has the right to act in self defense. However from a practical and moral perspective the legality of bombing is not very important because it is viewed as illegitimate by many of the people who matter most in the countries where future terrorists are dedicating their lives to destroy America. Also it is essentially irrelevant to the objective of bringing bin Laden to justice or to the goal of combating terrorism; it is probably counterproductive with regard to both those aims. For every military target and Taliban soldier destroyed by the bombing, there are hundreds crossing into Afghanistan to help the Taliban because of the bombing. There could have been a better way to bring suspects to justice and to begin a campaign against terrorism. The Security Council could have acted under Chapter VII to set up its own multi-stage procedure. Ideally this would have started with representatives of the Secretary-General and the Organization of the Islamic Conference going to seek Afghan compliance with a demand to hand over bin Laden to a new ad hoc international tribunal in the Hague. If there were not compliance, then military action could have been taken by a UN Rapid Deployment Force, using US and UK air cover, but only in a very carefully targeted manner. This process might not have led to the capture of bin Laden, as the present process may not, but much less harm would have been done. People in Muslin countries can not be expected to see justice in an ultimatum by the United States to hand over bin Laden to a U.S. court. The government of Afghanistan did offer to hand him over to a third country if they could have been shown the evidence that he had caused the 9/11 attacks. If the whole procedure had been done through the UN, by the UN, it might or might not have worked, but certainly the legitimacy of international law would have been strengthened. The way it was done in the Security Council, in effect allowing the U.S. to take all necessary steps, was understandable in the wake of the horror of the assaults on the United States, but such carte blanche resolutions do not contribute to the credibility of the Security Council or to any form of solidarity between the major powers that prevail in the Council and the people and nations that view themselves as oppressed by Western hegemony.  I fear that we have added to a process that will deepen the divide between the rich and the poor, bringing new recruits to Al Queda to strengthen terrorism worldwide. I also fear that hatred of our actions and our power and our use of military power will weaken the stability of a number of countries; and while I have very little respect for the government of Saudi Arabia now, I would have even less for a Taliban-type government there. A true campaign against terrorism would address its causes and include many of the programs for strengthening global institutions and supporting sustainable development that world federalists have long favored. It would also focus on apprehending individuals, not states, in efforts to stop criminal actions. It would move beyond a state-centric interpretation of the rules of the Charter where collective security tends to mean war and collective retribution; world federalists insist on individual responsibility under international law. Because the views I have expressed outline a process for strengthening international institutions in a way that puts justice, equity and human rights before the state-centric legalities of the present UN system, I think such views should be seen as representing the main stream of world federalist thinking. However, clearly there can be different views and different streams of thought within our movement. Also, it is valuable for the process of bringing more people to our views that we have a positive attitude toward the fact that the GW Bush Administration is coming to see the limits of unilateralism and the importance of friends in diverse nations.

It is disturbing when the same government that is encouraging all of us to get on with our normal lives is hard at work making sure that things will never be the same in the wake of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks and subsequent anthrax scare. Disturbing, not surprising. Some of the changes would erode our sense of privacy and freedom, and some would have real economic impacts on businesses that folks have fostered on the Internet and elsewhere. Deep in the heart of the 'Oxley bill' is a provision to allow law enforcement to open and inspect any international mail without a warrant. A couple of weeks ago, a colleague joked that it wouldn't be long before the government decided that it needed to open our personal mail to "protect us." At about the same time, a proposal to do pretty much that was making its way through our House of Representativesthe workplace of the good folks who asked us to get on with our lives while they quit early and high-tailed it out of D.C. at the first hint of anthrax in stone city. Deep in the heart of the "Oxley bill"which is the short name for the Financial Anti-Terrorism Act of 2001are provisions to allow law enforcement to poke around in heretofore personal and private financial information; to take cash from anyone who can't immediately explain where they got it; to eliminate any expectation of privacy in any international monetary transaction; and to, gasp, open and inspect any international mail without a warrant. In addition to raising the hackles of folks such as the American Civil Liberties Union, the proposal gets a thumbs-down from U.S. Postal officials. "For the first time in America's 225-year history, [this] would allow sealed, outbound international mail to be stopped and searched at the border without a warrant. There is no evidence that eroding these long established privacy protections will bring any significant law enforcement improvements over what is achieved using existing, statutorily approved law enforcement techniques," postal officials wrote Congress in regard to the Oxley bill. If that weren't enough, the Oxley bill, as proposed, would take a bite out of one of the few enterprises making money on the Internet today. Now I understand that casino gambling on the Net already violates federal and most state laws, but the impossibility of enforcement has made it one of the Web's entrepreneurial bright spots. And with gamblers reluctant to jet off to Vegas or Atlantic City, online gaming was poised to have a banner year, even if most of the money is being collected on small, rocky islands in the Atlantic. But the Oxley bill would put a major kink in the ability of these offshore to accept credit card and wire-transfer funds. Without them, they're cooked. No surprise that in addition to the gamers and the tech companies that support them, the Oxley bill is being met with vocal opposition from the credit card companies. Vice is vice, but like the Post Office's argument against tearing open international mail, nobody has yet connected the dots between the legislation and the terrorism we all loathe. How will nixing online gambling make us safer? The Financial Anti-Terrorism Act of 2001 breezed through the House and reportedly has strong support in the Senate. If it were the only attempt to change our definition of a free and open society, it would be bad enough. But it isn't. As eWEEK has reported, the euphemistically titled Uniting and Strengthening America Act of 2001 encapsulates the best of lawmakers' intentions with the worst of law enforcement expansions. With it, the FBI would have access to just about anything it wants as long as investigators say it has some foreign intelligence value. Judges will be powerless to do anything but issue an order when asked by federal investigators. Scary. I expect I was one of many persons who received last week a revised copy of my employer's policy for use of their computers and networksalong with a rundown of how they would check on me to make sure I was complying. I don't have a big problem with the warning that I'm about to be Carnivorized, but it did give me pause to think about what's been lost since the world changed six weeks ago. I never spent much time thinking about the search terms I plugged into my Google toolbar. Now I do. A second or two. Multiplied by 7,500 times a day, that comes to... a change in my life I could have done without. Maybe I can relax and unwind with a little online blackjackwhen I get home, on my own computer, of course. If I can only find a Web casino that'll take a check.

You decide?  I usually go by instinct and guts..  I may not always be 100% correct, but usually not too far off either...  What ashamee, I'd like to be wrong in this instance in the worse way!  How sad!                                                                  Take Care,..Luv,....Haze/Mark From: x To: x Subject: Fw: (none) Date: Wed, 31 Oct 2001 09:46:37 -0500 HONORING A TRAITOR This is for all the kids born in the 70's that do not remember this, and didn't have to bear the burden, that our fathers, mothers, and older brothers and sisters had to bear.  Jane Fonda is being honored as one of the "100 women of the Century."  Unfortunately, many have forgotten and still countless others have never known how Ms. Fonda betrayed not only the idea of our country but specific men who served and sacrificed during Vietnam. The first part of this is from an F-4E pilot. The pilot's name is Jerry Driscoll, a River Rat.  In 1978, the former Commandant of the USAF Survival School was a POW in Ho Lo Prison-the "Hanoi Hilton." Dragged from a stinking cesspit of a cell, cleaned, fed, and dressed in clean PJs, he was ordered to describe for a visiting American "Peace Activist", the "lenient and humane treatment" he'd received.  He spat at Ms. Fonda, was clubbed, and dragged away. During the subsequent beating, he fell forward upon the camp commandant's feet, which sent that officer berserk. In '78, the AF Col. still suffered from double vision (which permanently ended his flying days) from the Vietnamese Col.'s frenzied application of a wooden baton. From 1963-65, Col. Larry Carrigan was in the 47FW/DO (F-4Es).  He spent 6 years in the "Hilton"- the first three of which he was "missing in action". His wife lived on faith that he was still alive. His group, too, got the cleaned/fed/clothed routine in preparation for a "peace delegation" visit. They, however, had time and devised a plan to get word to the world that they still survived.  Each man secreted a tiny piece of paper, with his SSN on it, in the palm of his hand.  When paraded before Ms. Fonda and a cameraman, she walked the line, shaking each man's hand and asking little encouraging snippets like: "Aren't you sorry you bombed babies?" and "Are you grateful for the humane treatment from your benevolent captors?" Believing this HAD to be an act, they each palmed her their sliver of paper.  She took them all without missing a beat.  At the end of the line and once the camera stopped rolling, to the shocked disbelief of the POWs, she turned to the officer in charge and handed him the little pile of papers. Three men died from the subsequent beatings. Col. Carrigan was almost number four but he survived, which is the only reason we know about, her actions that day. I was a civilian economic development advisor in Vietnam, and was captured by the North Vietnamese communists in South Vietnam in 1968, and held for over 5 years.  I spent 27 months in solitary confinement, one year in a cage in Cambodia, and one year in a "black box" in Hanoi. My North Vietnamese captors deliberately poisoned and murdered a female missionary, a nurse in a leprosarium in Ban me Thuot, South Vietnam, whom I buried in the jungle near the Cambodian border.  At one time, I was weighing approximately 90 lbs. (My normal weight is 170 lbs.) We were Jane Fonda's "war criminals."  When Jane Fonda was in Hanoi, I was asked by the camp communist political officer if I would be willing to meet with Jane Fonda.  I said yes, for I would like to tell her about the real treatment we POWs received different from the treatment purported by the North Vietnamese, and parroted by Jane Fonda, as "humane and lenient." Because of this, I spent three days on a rocky floor on my knees with outstretched arms with a large amount of steel placed on my hands, and beaten with a bamboo cane till my arms dipped.  I had the opportunity to meet with Jane Fonda for a couple of hours after I was released. I asked her if she would be willing to debate me on TV.  She did not answer me. This does not exemplify someone who should be honored as part of "100 Years of Great Women."  Lest we forget..."100 years of great women" should never include a traitor whose hands are covered with the blood of so many patriots.  There are few things I have strong visceral reactions to, but Hanoi Jane's participation in blatant treason, is one of them. Please take the time to forward to as many people as you possibly can. It will eventually end up on her computer and she needs to know that we will never forget. We were young once...and soldiers!

Hi Everyone,    Just now I ran into X in the City-County Building, so I was finally able to discuss the resolution with him.    Upshot is, he'll talk to other alders and get back to me.    I tried to emphasize the 11/14 deadline.  But at this point I think I just have to wait.  I also sent another e-mail to X last night asking her to be a co-sponsor with X.    X said he'd probably talk with his fellow progressive alders before the Common Council budget meeting X tomorrow night.    So this means we won't have anything to report to the big group Tuesday most likely.    X explained to me that he believes the worst thing is to introduce a resolution and it gets 3 votes.  He felt this was destructive, sends the message the city isn't for peace, etc.  He feels it's best to float something only when you have enough support for passage.  So this may end up being debated after Thanksgiving after all.    It's interesting.  One school of thought seems to be that even an introduction of a resolution is positive since it generates debate.  Another school is that some collegiality among progressive alders must be preserved, divisiveness must be avoided, and you don't want to waste political capital on something that has no chance of passing.    So we've done what we can.  I'll let you know what I find out.    Should we do a County resolution? Regards, X XXX-XXXX (day) XXX-XXXX (evening) _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp _______________________________________________ policy@madpeace.org http://lists.OpenSoftwareServices.com/mailman/listinfo/madpeace-policy September 11 Email: Date The local time and date when the message was written.

Hi all, We need tto talk about strategy.  We can still do this and have it ready for the vote at the Council's next meeting if necessary, but that way things would have to figured out quickly, very quickly since a sponsor would need to get it to the City Clerk's office by 9am on Thursday at the latest. Things to take into consideration are things X pointed out, plus building up having 11 support the weaker resolution -- alot of that would fall on the backs of the supporting alders, together with a surge of communications from MAPC members and other supporters to their alders.

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 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 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 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 Madison Common Council calls 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 Madison Common Council calls on Afghanistan's neighbors to immediately reopen their borders to allow for the safe passage of refugees, and the U.S. and other members of the international community must be prepared to contribute to the economic costs incurred by the flight of desperate Afghan civilians; and BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED THAT the Madison Common Council calls on the federal government to actively support the work of various agencies to deliver assistance in Afghanistan, particularly through overland truck convoys, and 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 Madison Common Council calls on the 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 Madison Common Council calls 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 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, urges the federal government to put humanitarian concerns first and will consider the Government of the United States responsible for both the direct consequences of its military actions in Afghanistan and for the results of its indifference to the priority of humanitarian concerns in Afghanistan and the surrounding region. _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp _______________________________________________ policy@madpeace.org http://lists.OpenSoftwareServices.com/mailman/listinfo/madpeace-policy September 11 Email: Date The local time and date when the message was written.

That's the world federalist website, www.wfa.org, the statement I quoted the other day had the word "perhaps" as a compromise between hawks and doves in the association. "WFA is greatly troubled by the fact that innocent civilians were killed here in America on 9-11 and are now being killed in Afghanistan.  We work to make obsolete such crude, reactionary violence.  Since long before 9-11 we have advocated -- and made some important progress towards -- a global intelligence, law enforcement, and court system that would interdict such global criminals before they act, and then arrest and try in a court-of-law those who do manage to carry out such crimes.  Lacking such a structural solution, however, the hastily-formed coalition that has been cobbled together since 9-11 will at best achieve vigilantism (not justice) as it tries to get Bin Ladin dead or alive, killing many more innocents in the process.  Is such vigilantism better than nothing?  Perhaps. Regardless, WFA will continue the fight for real global security and justice. Terrorism is a complex persistent problem, and we need more than an ad-hoc coalition to fight it.  If President Bush and other American citizens sincerely want long-term global security, then we call upon them to join our cause." _______________________________________________ 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.

Just talked to X.  She says work with X, try to get him to sponsor the stronger one, push for debate before Thanksgiving.  So I'm working on that plan.  I have his day (work) number, and will try to set up a meeting with him (and include any who can come).  We need to either file by title only for tomorrow, or maybe we can do it on 11/13 (I will find out). X nixed the intro by communication idea.  She also said pick one title (Shall we go with "Humanitarian Priorities in Afghanistan"?)  Then we put the strong text forward, and be ready to sub in the weaker text later if necessary.  She's has a wealth of practical tips.

I think this is a very good idea.  It would be a change of style in our meetings, and I guess it would depend on what business might need to be discussed at the meeting.  Depending on the agenda and the length of the video, we could always show part of it instead of its entirety also.
