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.         Rolling Stone Magazine once reportedly found 400 members of the media had been in intelligence work before entering the media, according to Gary Webb, formerly of the San Jose Mercury News.  Gary said so visiting Madison at the WilMar Center on his Dark Alliance book tour exposing the CIA-contra-crack cocaine epidemic.  In Catherine the Great we learn the Washington Post had former intelligence operatives Phil Graham and Ben Bradley managing the paper during much of the Cold War, as well as former Naval intelligence Bob Woodward of Watergate fame may have used CIA connections and called them "Deep Throat".            Former CIA spook Walter Pincus helped the New York Times destroy Gary Webb's career for daring to expose the CIA's latest drug habit.             How this works may have been indicated by a recent incident that happened to me.  On July 24, 2001, Ted Koppel (another former spook) used a classified defense report to belittle Paul Wolfowitz's attempts to promote the national missile defense.  terrorism was the most probable (#1) and NMD the least probable (#9 and #10) on a ranked list of ten main security threats.  When I tried to get a copy of the whole list, I was told by Feingold's office that it was classified.             So classified material makes good news stories and you can't get it unless you've had security clearances.  Hence being a CIA spook is a great way to boost a news career.  Hence the media loves to hire CIA spooks with there inside connections and assigns these "super" reporters to foreign policy stories.  This operates to reinforce the American business bias of the press (and the CIA: see trade center story about CIA office there destroyed, that had interviewed businessmen coming home from abroad)             One big happy family of international corruption:  CIA, media, transnationals, and the pentagon.  Did I say pentagon?  The Iron Triangle classic documents the heavy board of directors interlock between major banks and major defense contractors, about 15% to 20% overlap, almost 50% for Citicorp with 60% of its profits overseas. Pretty thick percentages when the average interlock for all big business is the same 15% to 20%. _______________________________________________ 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.
