Can we develope a feature about corporate culpability in F, N. and
B.?
If 600 are killed in Fallujah, with 200,000 people, we can
extrapolate that in Bagdad, with 5 Million, that 15,000 can be
killed in the first day of urban warfare. The first day alone.
The upcoming attack on Najaf will allow better estimations.
I'd like to develope a page of corporate assets being directed
against the Iraqi population. A who's who of Halliburton and
Blackwater, and GE. Names, addresses, locations of offices and other
places to protest.
In the move towards transparency, which will come about despite the
efforts of the office of Corporate Profit Accounting (CPA). We could
keep this updated and perhaps develope a permanent section of the
front page for this. Folks might even join us in this effort.
If the Iraqi's are to petition their government, which for the
forseeable future is Halliburton and the CPA (US government), they
need to know exactly how it is set up, who runs it, and where the
choke points are. Peaceful assembly does not mean standing around on
the corner or in the town square-it means assembly where the
decisions are being made and raising hell.
