[Emily Lonigro]

you know what, forget about the dec 7 thing. there are at least a dozen showings of the film in the chicago area, and people who are moveon members know about it already. can we put a link in the upcoming events so people can find out about it? here's what moveon sent: 

This Sunday, December 7th, over 2,000 MoveOn members are hosting house parties to screen the new documentary Uncovered: The Whole Truth  about the Iraq War.  Some of these folks are opening up their homes  to other MoveOn members, and you’re invited to attend.  You can find a public party in your area and sign up at:

This'll be fun, but it's also really important.  Here's a statement  from Ambassador Joe Wilson, the man whose wife’s cover as a CIA agent  was blown by the White House.  Ambassador Wilson, who served as  ambassador to Iraq before the first Gulf War, also helped to expose  the truth behind the President’s famous assertion that Iraq was  seeking uranium in Africa.  Here’s why he thinks Uncovered is such  an important movie: 

   War is a blunt instrument reserved for those instances when other,     less violent actions cannot achieve our national security goals. In     the case of Iraq, as you will see in Uncovered, those other actions     were working very well. We did not need to go to war to meet the     objectives set forth by the President and the international     community in UN Security Council resolution 1441.  Intrusive     inspections were working just fine. 

   Going to war with Iraq has not made us safer. On the contrary,     there are now several hundred million Muslims who hate us.  We are     now seen by a world that only two years ago stood by our side, as     one of the greatest threats to international peace.  130,000     Americans are sitting ducks in Iraq, being picked off one or two a     day, while the Iraqi population becomes more and more hostile to     our occupation.  And this war of choice on Iraq has kept us from     finishing the job in Afghanistan against Al Qaeda and the Taliban. 

   Uncovered very effectively deconstructs the case for war with Iraq,     pointing out the lies and flimsy evidence that underpinned the     justification.  It is an important work because it goes directly to     the credibility of this administration.  You will come away     wondering whether George W. Bush and his team are worthy of our     trust or support.  I know where I come down on that question.      Others will benefit from this documentary in reaching their own     conclusions.   

 To find a house party to screen Uncovered in your area, just go to:

We hope you can make it.  Have fun!
