[IMC-US] [Fwd: indymedia.us coverage of ciw tour]

[bht]

hi.  john, i recommended the exact same things as 1a and 1b, but I think 
both should be done.  An alert graphic linking to ciw-online and then a 
small startpage special with updates.  a topic-event i didnt even think 
about, but that is a great idea.
