"The Washington Post assigned 19 reporters to cover an April 20
pro-Palestinian demonstration in Washington, D.C. but none of them
either discovered or reported a critical fact-that the main organizer of
the
event, Brian Becker, is a hard-core Marxist affiliated with the Workers
World Party who had been in Havana, Cuba, in October 1997, getting
instructions on how to conduct world revolution."

LOL! Where does AIM get off using "Accuracy" in their name?

Brian Becker and the WWP are pretty annoying, but even I wouldn't stoop so
low as to suggest that Becker was the main organizer of A20. In fact, he
was a peripheral player in the whole weekend.

I think that the Washington Post has improved its reputation in my eyes
after reading this.

"...ironically, perhaps, the best organised dissenters in
the world today are anarchists, who are busily
undermining capitalism while the rest of the left is
still trying to form committees."
