[Imc-uk-features] Editorial Stuff

[tjarmstrong at talk21.com]

This is advertising - an anti-war CD, and therefore 
contravenes that editorial guidelines:

This is promoting a political party, however, someone has commented that the Kurds are being repressed as it is, and
maybe it's best if we make an expection to the rule, what 
does everyone think?

Oh and by the way, I would like to make an contribution to
the 'Bliderburg article' debate. I did e-mail the IMC-UK
features list a while ago saying if should not be hidden,
I have since read the article again, and yes, it does smell
well dodgy, full of the 'Jews want to take over the world'
conspiracy stuff. I have no issues with conspriacy theorists,
so long as they back their facts up, and do not use them to 
justify discriminaton, like this article does. So hence I
retract my previous statement, it was the right thing to do.

Regarding the editorial policy, you will always come up with
'non-news' articles, this is an open publishing newswire after
all, I think that the best thing to do, would be to start a
seperate 'discussion wire and/or rantwire' where people can
put up articles which may not strictly be news, but still of
interest to the average IMC reader. (I remeber someone on the
features list considering this a while back).

Anyway, keep up the good work, and stay free and dangerous,

Tom Armstrong.
