Pittsburgh Organizing Group Shuts Down Defense Contractor
repost from pittsburgh organizing group,

On Friday, March 2, Pittsburgh Organizing Group (POG) and supporters set out to shut down the National Robotics Engineering Center (NREC), a largely Pentagon-funded venture of Carnegie Mellon University (CMU) that has become a world leader in warfare robotics. The action succeeded beyond the organizers' expectations.

Two actions were organized for the purpose of creating a barricade. The first was a non-publicized effort by four affinity groups to barricade the main entrances through the use of lockboxes (long pipes through which people's hands are locked together), u-locks, and a tripod. These groups deployed at 5am, before police were on the scene. This action alone blocked all vehicular access to NREC and severely disrupted the possibility of pedestrian traffic. [14 arrests, all released]. The second piece of the action was a publicly announced 7:30am march from Friendship Park to NREC, which also intended to barricade the facility. As expected, a large number of police were deployed at various locations to ensure the march would not be able to successfully create a barricade.

Pesante-USA Decries and Condemns the Arroganc
Pesante-USA,

The Pesante-USA decries and condemn in the strongest terms the high-handed arrogance of ex-General Jovito Palparan who proclaimed in the most brazen contempt for the report of the Melo Commission and the initial findings of United Nations Special Rapporteur Philip Alston on the extrajudicial killings.

By declaring what he thinks that the report of the Melo Commission and the initial findings of United Nations Special Rapporteur Philip Alston on the extrajudicial killings are flawed because both purportedly partook of the “propaganda” of the “enemy of the state,” Palparam showed his criminal mind, contempt for law and his fascist kind.

Kucinich to Attend First Democratic Debate in
Nadia,

Some feel that the upcoming presidential election is a distraction from the here and now, but I feel we should use the national debate to bring attention to what can be done right now. Congressman Dennis Kucinich has a ten-point plan to get our troops out of Iraq now. He is working on cutting the funding to the war in Iraq. Everyone should contact their congressperson and ask them to vote NO on the upcoming supplemental appropriations which would help fund a war in Iran as well. Congressman Kucinich has a bill in Congress right now that will provide Universal Health Care for all. Contact your Congressmen and ask that they support HR 676. Our Democracy requires all thinking Americans take an active stand now.

Echoing Pre-Iraq War Disinformation Campaign,
Between the Lines' Scott Harris,

Echoing Pre-Iraq War Disinformation Campaign, Bush Now Targets Iran

Interview with retired U.S. Army Reserve Col. Ann Wright, conducted by Scott Harris

While the brutal civil war in Iraq daily claims scores of Iraqi and U.S. lives, President Bush seems ever more focused on further escalating threats against the government of Iran. President Bush's announcement that American soldiers are now under orders to capture or kill Iranian operatives inside Iraq that the administration claims are aiding Shiite militias targeting U.S. forces follows other troubling signs that a new war might be close at hand. While U.S. pressure on Iran to end their nuclear program has thus far failed to reverse Tehran's policy, the White House has arrested Iranian diplomats inside Iraq and dispatched a third aircraft carrier group off the Iranian coast.

On Feb. 11, anonymous U.S. military officials presented examples of explosively formed penetrator bombs that they maintain is evidence Iran is supplying these weapons to Shiite groups inside Iraq who are attacking U.S. soldiers. But many observers, and even a top U.S. general, are labeling these claims as dubious. Gen. Peter Pace, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, told reporters that he "would not say" that Iran's leadership was aware of or condoned the attacks.

Between The Lines' Scott Harris spoke with Ann Wright, a retired colonel in the U.S. Army Reserve who resigned from the U.S. Foreign Service in protest of the Iraq war on March 19, 2003. She examines what she believes would be the dire consequences for the U.S. and the Middle East if President Bush decides to launch a war against Iran and explains why she has appealed to U.S. military personnel to disobey what she believes would be unlawful orders to attack Iran.

Ann Wright is a retired colonel in the U.S. Army Reserve and 20-year U.S. Army veteran. Read her article titled "An Appeal to Conscience to Those Who Would Bomb Iran". Related links:
