Mad Cow Expert to Speak in San Diego
CFA,
Just two days before Christmas, the USDA admitted to the American public that the first case of a cow slaughtered with mad cow disease had surfaced in Washington. The USDA acted more like a beef PR firm than an agency meant to protect American consumers, moving quickly to assure the public that beef was safe. Dr. Michael Greger of the Organic Consumers Union knew better. Dr. Greger will be speaking here in San Diego as part of local Great American Meatout events. Read more about what local activists are doing.

US-Appointed Council Abolishes Rights of Iraqi Women
MADRE, c/o Vee,
MADRE, an international women's human rights organization, opposes the imposition of Islamic law on the people of Iraq by the US-appointed Interim Governing Council (IGC). Resolution 137 could give self-appointed religious clerics the authority to inflict grave human rights violations on Iraqi women, including denial of the rights to education, employment, freedom of movement and travel, property inheritance and custody of their children. Forced early marriage, polygamy, compulsory religious dress, wife beating, female genital mutilation, execution by stoning as punishment for female adultery and public flogging of women for disobeying religious rules could all be sanctioned if the Resolution is upheld.
