Apparently, some of these "respectable demonstrators" are nervous about
their roles as media-appointed leaders of the anti-WTO protest.

Here's an account from a D.C. anarchist and IWW member who was
teargassed in Seattle and who attended the Trade Coalition press
conference with me yesterday:

"On the funny note, I got stopped on my way into work today by Mike
Dolan (I think that's 
how he spells his name I don't really care, he sucks.)  He accosted me
for showing up at 
the labor press conference and told me I had no business being there.  I
told him that I 
just wanted to ask him how he took credit for organizing the entire
Seattle Protest when 
the people at the Convergance space had never heard of him as late as
the 29th of 
November(to clarify that is the day before the shit hit the fan) and
what gave him the 
right to co-opt the work of so many genuine activists?  He wouldn't
answer my question 
and he just decided to walk away.  F that guy."
