I don't doubt that, Marta, but the people listed there are mostly 
not 'official ANSWER chapters' (it's an ANSWER page, not an IAC page) in any 
sense.  They are people who provided information to ANSWER to the effect 
that 'We are organizing a bus from such and such a place, and here is our 
contact information.'  Most of these people never had any contact with IAC or 
ANSWER before last October, and very likely haven't even talked with anyone in 
DC or NY on the phone.  It wouldn't be all that difficult for some cop, right-
winger, etc., to get listed there as the Squirrel Creek Peace Committee or 
whatever, for the purpose of reading ANSWER bulletins, disrupting things, 
etc.  That's one of the negative aspects of a diverse, loose, quickly growing 
network: it's easy to infiltrate.
