Bush's New, New Lie
Christopher Sheer (posted by Pipard)
2004-05-12 3:02 AM
June 30 simply marks the selection of yet another "governing council," picked by foreigners (some combination of the UN, U.S. and UK) to act as a front for the U.S.-led occupation army. It will be just business as usual, except for a new set of misleading titles. For example, the "Coalition Provisional Authority" will be renamed the "United States Embassy," staffed by some 2000 employees.
That's about it. Really. (text/plain)

Many activists around the world are aware that the G-8 Summit is to be held on Sea Island, just off the rural coastline of Georgia, June 8th through 10th.
