Fiedlers' a rabid China basher and, according to some union organizers I know in King County, CIA. Just plug his name in google. </BLOCKQUOTE> The name is Harry Wu.  I know it is a terrible disappointment to folks who went defend the 'socialist' motherland of PRC that Chinese dissidents such as Wu and the Tianamen student leader exiles supported the AFL-CIO position on China's entry into the WTO, since it makes it just a little difficult to present it as the latest version of the 'yellow peril,' but then again, facts are difficult things.   Leo Casey United Federation of Teachers 260 Park Avenue South New York, New York 10010-7272 (212-598-6869) Power concedes nothing without a demand. It never has, and it never will. If there is no struggle, there is no progress. Those who profess to favor freedom, and yet deprecate agitation are men who want crops without plowing the ground. They want rain without thunder and lightning. They want the ocean without the awful roar of its waters. -- Frederick Douglass -- </HTML>
