" "There, the AFL-CIO, among other organizations, staged demonstrations emphasizing the importance of the institution of rules guaranteeing workers' rights and environmental protection throughout the world." "The demonstrations received wide media coverage due to several violent incidents that occurred during the protests. " "Sweeney stressed that these incidences were not caused by members of the AFL-CIO but rather by a well-organized group of anarchists." -- Chuck0 Mid-Atlantic Infoshop http://www.infoshop.org/ Leonard Peltier Freedom Month Executive Clemency For Peltier! http://www.freepeltier.org/lpfreedommonth.html Free Mumia Abu-Jamal Now! http://www.infoshop.org/gulag/mumia_idx.html "A society is a healthy society only to the degree that it exhibits anarchistic traits." - Jens Bjørneboe
