Second Rendition Article - How NC Relates to the USA's Global Torture Archipelago

The Guradian/UK published an article March 19th (republished at http://www.commondreams.org/headlines05/0319-07.htm), Afghanistan: "One Huge US Jail," which was the first article I saw on the Johnston County torture connection. The article alleges that the airplane based here has been used in the kidnapping of foreign citizens for torture and in several cases murder under torture. It also describes the lawless and oppressive occupation of Afghanistan by our country and supposedly more peace loving countries in Europe that later verbally opposed the Iraq War. There are also articles on the global torture network in Alliance!, www.allianceml.com.

Triangle Marxist Forum discussion group update: The next meeting will be March 25th 1:30-3:30 at the Center for Documentary Studies again. Also, I'm going to suggest a Lenin reading that provides a good overview, but the other readings cover the same material, so they are somewhat interchangeable. I'll post more later in the week.
