[IMC-bristol] Censorship of bunker feature

Wed Nov 12 11:46:57 PST 2003

You know I had left the meeting Mike,

1) What complaints about posting articles without peoples permission? 
Anyway I have Phil's permission to publish it.

2) What do you mean?? Ian's doing this all the time. And it makes sense if 
you know - as John Serpico does often - most about a particular story.

3) This article - which I think reads particularly well - Phil is a 
professional journo. has never been published before.

Finally - it's exactly the sort of story the mainstream should be doing but 
aren't - and should pull in more mainstream readers than the 'activist 
ghetto' stuff.

I feel really shitty about time and effort wasted with apparently 
backstabbing people - the least whoever saw the feature as a 'problem' 
could do was ask me themselves before I had to leave the other day before 
simply censoring it.

Or at the very least run it past the list before censoring it.

If posting - for the first time for several months - an exclusive, well 
researched, balanced feature on a matter of international public interest 
is 'abuse of power' - well, I suggest you read the article.
