[lbo-talk] Just Do Something!

[Joseph Wanzala]

sorry, but you cannot simply declare the statement about Featherstone's work 
on the ISO in the Nation as a 'strike' Ms. Featherstone did in fact write 
some articles for the Nation and the question of how accurate they were or 
whether or not they were red-baiting as stated in the piece I posted has 
been the subject of extensive debate.

As to Christian Parenti's reportage from Baghdad, we are told by Louis 
Project that: The other important piece of information that Christian 
gleaned from his travels about Baghdad is that the people want nothing more 
than peace. He quoted one Iraqi as saying, "Take our oil--take it all. Just 
get the electricity turned back on." Somehow I find it hard to visualize all 
this. Maybe I am just jaded from reading Thomas Friedman.
