Greetings:

Did I overlook part of the info in your announcement or on the given
date is PDA actually receiving Roy Bourgeois ITF or "In The Flesh" at
some secret location in AZ? His formally correct title now = "Mr."?

Since 1994 I have published >7K articles on Usenet newsgroups,
focussing mainly on current USGov war crimes. A few of these were
original song lyrics, such as those to "Dawn Over Gaza". I am also a
modest amateur master of the most ancient oriental game of strategy
usually called in so-to-speak "barbarian" tongues by its Japanese name
of "_go_". Hence I have plenty of stuff to talk about with your
distinguished guest, should sometime there be a convenient occasion
therefor.  A former International Fellow & Fellow of the Russian
Institute of Columbia U & Texas delegate to Tom Hayden's worthy
Indochina Peace Campaign, I am now a retired SF MUNI operator & taxi
driver living on a very modest personal budget.

BTW back in 1973 or thereabouts during the latter stages of the
Vietnamese War of Independence I had the pleasure of having a "date",
as it were, with a Miss Christie Bourgeois at the U of Texas in
Austin. For reasons soon to become clear, I suspicion she might be
Roy's younger sister. As planned, the two of us dressed up in order to
attend a big (for the campus) awards ceremony for George Brown of
Brown & Root, whereat John Connally was the MC & the U Chancellor
(whose name I have forgotten, except he was a PhD in forestry & pretty
soon afterwards died  of apoplexy) was his sidekick.  At the
appropriate moment of the proceeding, I mounted the conveniently
stepped stage and announced to the audience that Christie & I were
representing the UT Student Government (which was true) in giving our
own award to Mr. Brown: A hand-sized photo display case containing on
the left side a copy of Brown & Root's contract for the construction
on Con Son Island, Vietnam, of the notorious "Tiger Cage" prison for
the torture of captured Viet patriots and on the facing side a copy of
the Student Government's resolution condemning the University
administration's venal genuflection to its large, war criminal donor.
Christie then walked down to Brown sitting in the front row and
politely handed him the souvenir, which he graciously accepted.
Meanwhile John  Connally was hunkering down behind the podium like he
was feared of getting shot again. Outside many of our people in
solidarity with Vietnam alias "anti-war" were demonstrating against
the travesty, so the two of us then walked out of the auditorium to
join them.  As far as I recall, that was the last I ever saw of
Christie. (For normal occasions I had a regular GF.) Ah, such sweet
memories of days long gone by! Old UTX's like me have ever been
notorious for our nostalgia.

I am wishing you success with your planned program. I recommend the
eventual goal of our arresting, prosecuting, convicting & punishing
all major war criminals. IMHO the perp target list starts with HenKi,
Obomber, Clintonz, Bushez, Sulbergerz, Netanyahu and continues through
the Kabal.

Come to think of it, I mizewell post this exchange of notes to the
Usenet, too. Every little bit of publicity for the good cause, eh
what?

Sincerely, Hal Womack

Please join us for a special End Wars and Occupations Call Tuesday,
February 12th Time: 9:00 PM ET, 8:00 PM CT, 7:00 PM MT, 6:00 PM PT.
RSVP Here.

We're proud to welcome Father Roy Bourgeois as our guest speaker for
this month's call.  While working as Maryknoll priest in Latin
America, Father Roy witnessed at first hand the deadly results of US
programs to train Latin American military officers to suppress popular
and indigenous movements in their countries.  In 1990, he founded SOA
Watch to campaign for the end of these programs and the closure of the
School of the Americas in Ft. Benning, Georgia, where most of this US
training takes place.

For 23 years, SOA Watch has held annual vigils attended by tens of
thousands outside the gates of Ft. Benning.  More recently, Father Roy
has led SOA Watch delegations to meet with governments in Latin
America that have persuaded 6 countries to withdraw their officers
from SOA training.  SOA Watch is inviting activists from across the US
to join them on delegations to El Salvador, Paraguay and Chile in
2013, and Father Roy will talk about those trips on our call.

Date and Time: Tuesday, February 12th, 9 PM ET, 8 PM CT, 7 PM MT, 6 PM
PT (AZ is on Mountain Time)
Number and Code: (605)-475-4800; Access Code: 791628#

Please hit *6 to mute your line--you can unmute to ask a question.

TAKE ACTION: President Obama's selection for Director of Central
Intelligence, John Brennan, will come before the U.S. Senate for a
confirmation vote very soon. Please tell your Senators to vote NO on
confirmation of John Brennan as CIA director. His policies have
demonstrated an unacceptable lack of respect for international law,
human rights, and basic values. PDA joins with human rights, peace,
civil liberties and other organizations strongly opposing this
appointment. Use this Action Alert.

Peace,

Virginia, Robert, Sandy and Marc
