Urgent Alert -- We Celebrate A Victory
"Our contract with Danny Glover runs through January 2004 and we intend to honor our contract... "
This message resonates with the sound of victory for our "Dial-in for Democracy" Campaign. It was launched in response to the right-wing attack on TransAfrica Forum Board Chairperson Danny Glover. Our action alert last week asked friends and supporters to contact MCI to insist that it not back down in its relationship with Danny in the face of attacks from right-wing extremists. Our alert was followed by an outstanding commentary by Tavis Smiley on the Tom Joyner Morning Show (May 15th), along with other media attention. A massive response ensued. MCI was deluged with telephone calls, e-mails and faxes.

Green Tide Sweeps into New Paltz, NY...
Amnesty International today expressed its concern that Toujan al-Faisal is not being allowed to stand as a candidate in the upcoming Jordanian parliamentary elections of 17 June.
"Toujan al-Faisal is being denied her right to stand for elections on account of an unfair trial for expressing non-violent political beliefs," Amnesty International said today.
"The Jordanian authorities have pledged to increase the representation of women in the coming elections. However, they are seriously undermining the legitimacy of the elections by curtailing the civil and political rights of an outspoken Jordanian woman."

Now They Tell Us
Postwar Truths and Consequences
by David Corn
My fellow Americans, there may be threatening amounts of weapons of mass destruction in Iraq. There may not be. We're not sure. And if they are there, it may take weeks after military victory before we can launch a major effort to find and secure them. By then, they could be gone--that is, if they were there in the first place--perhaps in the hands of people who mean us harm. |

Waging oil wars
A 1999 Strategic Assessment report prepared by DoD's Institute of National Strategic Studies reveals what we've always known: that war-for-oil is an accepted part of Pentagon dogma. The Sydney Morning Herald reports that the document "vividly highlights how the highest levels of the US Defence community accepted the waging of an oil war as a legitimate military option." Though to be fair, the strategy wonks at the institute seem as clear-eyed about the disastrous consequences of waging such a war. |
