Fwd: No Logo vs. Pro Logo

[Doug Henwood]

[This isn't hype - Naomi Klein did smoke her adversary, Sameena Ahmad 
of The Economist, who wrote a Pro Logo piece for the mag - just 
before 9/11/01, so it was quickly forgotten. Later they're joined by 
some idiot investment manager and by Owens Wiwa, brother of Ken Saro 
Wiwa, who was hanged by the Nigerian government for giving Shell too 
hard a time.]
