[ Presenting plain-text part of multi-format email ] In August and September the Committee to End the Occupation organized a series of slide presentations that featuring 30 or so photos to address some of the central issues of the war. We now have a digital version available with a Powerpoint presentation on CD. The 200+ slides use news photos with accompanying text to focus on the effects of the US invasion on the people of Iraq. It is designed to challenge some of the ongoing war propaganda and misinformation promoted by US politicians and media. When we give the presentation we narrate the slides for about 40 minutes and then open the floor for contributions and debate. The CD can be viewed with a personal computer with Powerpoint. (The program is included on Office 2000 and more recent Windows operating systems). Using computer projection equipment the presentation can be shown to groups. (This technology is increasingly available in schools and institutions) The digital version is available for a contribution covering mailing expenses.

Described by the UN as the world's most efficient food network, the system still keeps Iraqis from going hungry. But the US civilian administrator of Iraq, Paul Bremer, views it as a dangerous socialist anachronism. The coalition provisional authority (CPA) is planning to abolish it in January, despite warnings from its own technical experts that this could lead to hunger and riots." - Suzanne Goldenberg In Solidarity Bob Allen Committee to End the Occupation www.endocciraq.org _______________________________________________ Sent via the discussion list of the Campaign Against Sanctions on Iraq.
