This year, there's a one-Saturday-per-month indoor market in Lincoln
Square, and AWARE will be there, to talk about war and peace with
whoever may pass by.<br>
<br>
The first one is <b>this Saturday, the 19th, from 8 AM until 1 PM</b>.
Please come by if you have a chance. <br>
We're in the broad south hallway, about midway along the eastern
side - in front of the old 88 Broadway bar area.<br>
<br>
We'll have flyers - and can include copies of recent articles. Any
suggestions?<br>
<br>
(We probably won't be able to sell our usual bumper stickers etc.,
as they weren't Illinois-made, a rule that the market people seem to
be enforcing these days.)<br>
<br>
<br>
It's tempting to put together some sort of poster. I wonder if we
can make one based on Zero Dark Thirty, maybe drawing from Naomi
Wolf's article -<br>

"Your film Zero Dark Thirty is a huge hit here. But in falsely
justifying, in scene after scene, the torture of detainees in "the
global war on terror", Zero Dark Thirty is a gorgeously-shot,
two-hour ad for keeping intelligence agents who committed crimes
against Guantánamo prisoners out of jail. It makes heroes and
heroines out of people who committed violent crimes against other
people based on their race - something that has historical
precedent.<br>
<br>
Your film claims, in many scenes, that CIA torture was redeemed by
the "information" it "secured", information that, according to your
script, led to Bin Laden's capture. This narrative is a form of
manufacture of innocence to mask a great crime: what your script
blithely calls "the detainee program". [...]<br>
