>The Summer issue of War Times/Tiempo de Guerras should be in the hands of
>most distributors and subscribers by now. (If we missed you by mistake,
>please let us know.) It is also posted on the web at www.war-times.org
>
>We believe revelations of torture in US-run prisons and the escalating
>violence in Iraq have created another "teachable moment" when the US public
>may be open to new perspectives. That’s why this issue is a little different
>from most previous ones: although we've included several reports on Bush's
>"war on terror," we've also offered more analysis than usual. So the summer
>issue contains articles like "A Time to Search Our Souls: After Abu Ghraib",
>"The Color of Abu Ghraib" and "Sexual Domination in Uniform."
>
>It seems clear that many US people are ready to question Bush's leadership;
>it is not so clear that all these people will think about the race and
>gender implications of the Iraq story. The current War Times points out
>directly issues of race and gender as features of the war.
>
>Please consider distributing FREE copies of War Times/Tiempo de Guerras at
>oppositional events you may be going to this summer, such as:
>
>• the Green Convention in Milwaukee (actually Peace Action Wisconsin is
>doing this one -- stop by and say hello)
>
>• showings of the movie Fahrenheit 9/11 by Michael Moore beginning June 25
>(we can trust Moore to skewer George Bush, but leafleting the line with War
>Times will add color to his critique)
>
>• Bill Clinton’s book promotion events
>
>• the ACLU convention in San Francisco in July
>
>• the Democratic Convention in Boston in July
>
>ORDER free copies for these events from distribution at war-times.org by
>Tuesday, June 22; most should arrive by June 25. After that shipping will be
>slower -- you may not get papers until after July 4.  We ship in multiples
>of 25.
>
>As always, we rely on our readers and distributors to keep War Times
>publishing. Please visit http://war-times.org/donate.htm today to make your
>contribution!
