This article could move a lot of people, I think, who are inclined
to believe the Administration's line about killing only truly
deserving militants with our drone strikes. We should hand it out
at the Market, at least.<br>

And I'd really like to include something about drones in the 4th of
July parade.<br>
The picture below is from the AFSC exhibit<br>
"Windows and Mirrors / Reflections on the War in Afghanistan"<br>
<a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.windowsandmirrors.org/">http://www.windowsandmirrors.org/</a><br>
which was on display in Chicago during the anti-NATO conference -
one of about<br>
thirty large pieces. Perhaps we could bring the exhibit here --
maybe in the fall?<br>
But I wonder if we could get permission to reproduce this stark
image as a parade poster. <br>
