Subject: A funny thing happened on the way to the repression....

Kind of a curious thing.....

NY national guardsmen, in uniform, joined some of the
demonstrations and marches; meanwhile, the troops of
the 10th Mountain Division just back from Afghanistan,
staged a support vigil at Ft. Drum, NY.....

Meanwhile, Bloomburg (mayor of nyc) asked Gov. Pataki
to mobilize a battalion of guardsmen to back up the
nypd...

Pataki had just been handed the reports of the affair
at Ft. Drum and the guardsmen joining the crowd
downtown....

And said "no'.

Perhaps he didn't want to find out the hard way which
side he was re-enforcing with armed troops....<g>
