It's funny you should mention photos Hoof. Now suppose you were a man who went
to take a picture of somebody and they turned round and walked away; wouldn't
that tell you something?
Hey, especially if they then named that picture "Walking Away" and sent it to
somebody else, and then, after having gone and had their hair done really nice,
sent that person a much nicer picture?
Wouldn't that tell you something?
I do hope you like my pictures of the March. I was laughing so much when I saw
Osama Bin Laden that I forgot to focus, and then he turned round and he had
"shoot me here" written on his back, and I just curled up completely and missed
the shot. ROFLMAO

SOA Watch Update
October 13, 2005
What to Expect at Fort Benning this November
"Today, the countries from Venezuela to Argentina are "out of control," from the
perspective of Washington planners. Popular forces are challenging structures of
domination and exploitation in a region of great economic and strategic
significance. The reaction is all too predictable. The single year 2002-3
registered more than a 50% increase in Latin American military trained by the
U.S. Police are being trained in military tactics....The record of what has been
done under similar circumstances by graduates of the School of the Americas is
grim and sordid. Current signs are ominous. The vigil you are conducting should
help alert our country to the serious threats that lie ahead, unless we act to
bring these crimes to an end."
-- Noam Chomsky, linguist and historian
What to Expect at Fort Benning offers a brief look at the November 18-20 Vigil
to Close the SOA weekend, including:
* What can we expect?
* Decision-making
* Affinity groups
* Nonviolence trainings

progressive issues, to connect with new activists and each other. The
distribution of information and the sale of educational materials have become
integral to the overall purpose of the Vigil.

Benning Road at the gates of Fort Benning and at the Convention Center in
