[Peace] AWARE Minutes for Feb 3

[Barbara kessel]

Corrections to minutes: 6C. "C. Federal Prosecutors­Several federal
Prosecutors have been forced out of  office over the past few months.
The Military Commissions act has made this possible."

I have no knowledge of any connection nbetween the Military
Commissions Act and the firing of prosecutors by Gonzales. While each
makes the other more dangerous, the MCA does not give the Attorney
General more power to do that. All that is as far as I know. Perhaps
someone else knew better and that is what the notes reflect. Barbara
Kessel

Also in #10. It is Rev. Mulberry (not Mayberry) and he spoke on Acting
on Faith from 12 to 1 on WRFU, 104.5 this past Saturday. If you would
like to hear just a few minutes of it to get a flavor before the forum
this Tuesday, just go to wrfu.net, click on "archives" on the right
and then select "Saturday, 12 - 1, Acting on Faith" and it should
start playing right on your computer.
