[Peace] Wed Jan 2, 7pm: Salam Talib on Iraq occupation, being a journalist, ... -- IMC Family Room

[Stuart Levy]

[Salam Talib, who is visiting U-C for a few more days,
spoke at last night's AWARE meeting on his experience in Iraq
as a citizen and as a journalist.  He talked with us and answered
questions for about ninety minutes -- and as Danielle says,
barely scratched the surface.  You'll want to come and hear him
on Wednesday evening, IMC Family Room, 7pm!]
