Friends,
First, thanks to all who responded to my request for help in
crafting a response to the desecration of my University's commencement
by Secty. Albright.
The resulting pamphlet (3000 copies distributed at the commencement ) is
at
http://www.gwu.edu/~nagy/albrightprogram2.pdf
It may of some use for others to adapt this pamphlet when faced with
an apologist for sanctions. My goal was to turn an establishment
propaganda event into an educational event.
Second , I would urge a response to today's front page article re a
recent Russian massacre of 45 civilians (www.washingtonpost.com). If
the figure of 45 dead civilians in the article is correct then that is
far lower than daily toll of the sanctions using the lowest credible
estimate (Garfield, on CASI site). I'll draft my own letter, but I think
the greater the number of letters, the better. Also if its OK, I'll
post the draft of my letter here and request your suggestions for
improving it.
Thanks in advance,
Tom
