>> We in Columbus, Ohio, USA, where the bombing of Iraq is being
test-marketed like a new brand of breakfast cereal through a mediatized
"townhall meeting," held an anti-war rally of about 300 people today. <<

"Disaster" "Fiasco"

  The US administration spin doctors are juicing up their spitballs after
Albright et al. got hammered today at their CNN "Town Hall." Something
broke down somewhere, because enough anti-war activists got through to
trash the PR blitzkrieg.

  CNN tried its own damage control by leading their 6pm World News with
Henry Kissinger and James Baker. There's going to be enough organized State
Department droning in the next few days to make us think B-17s are
overhead.

My congratulations to the anti-war organizers in Ohio.
