[Peace-discuss] Saturday morning: visit AWARE at Lincoln Square middle market

[Stuart Levy]

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.

The first one is *this Saturday, the 19th, from 8 AM until 1 PM*. Please 
come by if you have a chance.
We're in the broad south hallway, about midway along the eastern side - 
in front of the old 88 Broadway bar area.

We'll have flyers - and can include copies of recent articles.  Any 
suggestions?

(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.)


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 -

"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.

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".  [...]
