text The Fix is In - American Media Ignore Downing Street Memo Messenger 2005-06-30 6:59 PM
Over the last month, the American media has studiously avoided a story that has dominated the rest of the world. A leak transcript of a meeting with the British Prime Minister well before the invasion of Iraq showed that the US had decided to go to war even though it had no proof of weapons of mass destruction. Mainstream media argue that there is no news, that the American people already knew that the Bush admistration was mistaken. Conservative talk show hosts continue to deny that there are any problems. In a small, cramped room in the Capitol, Cong. Conyers held hearings on the Downing Street Memo. Ralph Nader, the Green Party and Rep. Maurice Hinchey call for impeachment. (text/plain)

Se agrava salud de presos políticos en huelga de hambre tras 43 dias,,libertad ahora
POR LA LIBERTAD DE PABLO VARGAS, CLAUDIO MELGAREJO, HARDY PEÑA Y FEDOR SANCHEZ A 43 DIAS DE INICIADA HUELGA DE HAMBRE... CARTA ABIERTA ESCRITA CON LA ESPERANZA DE CONSTRUIR LA LIBERTAD. Esta mañana es muy fría en Santiago, la gripe me ha tomado prisionero y no se si hacerle un comunicado o un motín. En cualquier caso tengo la sensación que esta gripe, este dolor de articulaciones, esta peste,es una buena peste. Como voy a comparar el momentáneo bienestar de un día sin gripe en la cárcel a una vida con gripe en libertad. ¡Viva la gripe, viva el smog,viva el tráfago, viva la libertad!¡Que viva la libertad en todas las esquinas! es y ha sido en el último período nuestro grito y sincopado blues de combate. Así lo hemos escrito, cantado y parafraseado en nuestras interacciones libertarias.Pero la libertad no florece con la lluvia del invierno, necesita una primavera de voluntades y cuatro estaciones de inteligencia y buenos movimientos. Oportunos, audaces.Nuestra pequeña estrategia, articular gestión y denuncia, movilización y convocatoria de solidaridades correcta pero microscópica. Somos pocos, somos frágiles, somos un grano de arena en un mar de seres ciudadanos demandantes. Atomizados por el maleficio enemigo y por nuestro propio egocentrismo; somos, ensuma, un pueblo que como otros camina y aprende, y seca más de lo necesario. Hoy tenemos una tarea urgente, tarea dramáticamente urgente y tremendamente contenedora de todo lo que alguna vez dijimos y soñamos.Hoy la libertad, la palabra, el encuentro, la posibilidad utópica de dar a cada hombre y mujer unlugar y un pedacito de felicidad en la historia,tienen ahora nombres concretos. Seis nombres, seis vidas, varios de ellos hombres que dejaron de ver el sol cuando aún no cruzaban el umbral de la adultez,piden ahora un gesto nuestro. Quisiéramos pensar que es un último gesto, el rito final antes de sentarnos a la mesa como iguales. Antes de batir nuestras diferencias y nuestros conciertos cara a cara.El lunes 16 de mayo, los cuatro condenados a cadena perpetua por ley antiterrorista, mis hermanos, han comenzado una huelga de hambre indefinida. Esta no es una decisión fácil y menos arbitraria y se explica al constatar que, a casi un año de promulgada la ley deIndulto General, su situación aún no solución definitiva.Acaso todo el mundo ha olvidado el llamado quehiciera el ejecutivo, presionado por una huelga de hambre de más de 70 días, para votar aquel proyecto así como la decisión parlamentaria de aprobarlo y elcompromiso claro y explícito del Ministro del Interioren términos de que los prisioneros que no fueran beneficiados, serían objeto de medidas alternativas.Hoy parece que nadie recuerda que hay seis hombres condenados al olvido de por vida.Nuestros compañeros continúan presos y tras 14 años decautiverio, ponen una vez más, sus vidas como testimonio e instrumento de su decisión inquebrantablede ser libres. Hardy Peña Trujillo, Claudio Melgarejo Chávez, Fedor Sánchez Piderit y Pablo Vargas López exigen que las autoridades políticas cumplan supalabra. Demandan al Ejecutivo que otorgue sumaurgencia a un Proyecto de Ley que les permita, a lomenos, obtener la libertad condicional. Igualmentehacen un llamado urgente al Senado a votarfavorablemente este proyecto; tal como lo hizo el último 07 de junio la Cámara de Diputados.Frente a esta huelga sólo nos queda hacer realidadnuestras palabras, derrumbar los muros con solidaridad activa y dar palabra y cuerpo a nuestros amigos y hermanos prisioneros. Ellos han escrito, sus amigos y familiares, en los muros de esta ciudad su historia y nosotros hemos asumido la tareade dar a su palabra y experiencia eco y presencia másallá de esos muros. Llevarlos al mundo, al futuro, a la libertad. El gobierno de la indiferencia y el poderno podrán apagar sus voces. Mañana sus rostros, sus palabras, sus gritos rebeldes y honestos, su poesía profunda y sus trazos de gesto hondo, señalarán ladignidad y la miseria humana con una indagatoria espeluznante. Como podremos entonces escapar a la memoria. Como podremos entonces decir YO no sabía.Aprendí en la prisión que no es necesario trazar un mapa o imponer una estrategia para convocar humanidad.Hoy sobre la mesa de la urgencia pido tu mano y por tu intermedio la solidaridad crítica y libre de aquellos que como tú, han debido partir para poder vivir. Solo te pido que juntos demos a mis hermanos la misma oportunidad de caminar. No se que más decir, me apena,me avergüenza un poco tener que explicar porqué nopodemos dejar entregados a su terrible suerte a estos hombres que con el sacrificio de la carne, aspiran atener lo que muchos de nosotros despreciamos cada día.Ayúdanos amigo mío, así lo hiciste conmigo, seamos máslibres en su libertad.
