[Seattle-editorial] FEATURE PROPOSAL: Activists Assess Tactics

[Brady]

i think it's a brilliant feature, and if i had had
more time, I would have written it (but not as well as
you  did).

I would suggest/ask that you put the SNOW 12 action on
there (from Sept 25) and the 520 tripod action on
there. To show that actions HAVE happened, and they
CAN happen again.

excellent. approve!
