Daniel Sheehan was interviewed on Pacifica's KPFA Saturday.\r\nHe goes over the legal strategy for introducing a resolution to Congress to\r\nblock team Dubya's war. For more information on Pacifica's coverage of the San\r\nFrancisco Peace Rally, see http:\/\/sf.indymedia.org\/news\/2003\/03\/1583170.php<\/p>\r\n
On a related note, check out the John Bonifaz interview I\r\nposted the other day:<\/p>\r\n

One way or another, the war powers issue (Article I, section\r\n8, US Constitution) will hopefully become a major pain in the arse for the Bush\r\nAdministration Unlike the Gulf of Tonkin and other cases, issues present now\r\noffer a unique window of opportunity before the official launch of war. John\r\nBonifaz discusses this in detail.<\/p>\r\n
The court case might not lead to anything -- but it's not\r\nover, despite what the media is telling America (see the interview). A new\r\nresolution submitted in Congress will probably be defeated as well. But these\r\nsteps are necessary. No specific action will stop the war all by itself. But\r\nactions since September have delayed the war and compelled Bush to go the UN,\r\nwhere he first expected the Iraqi dictator to balk immediately. Enter the\r\ngrowing \"superpower\" (NY Times) force of public opinion and General\r\nColin Powell's clean little UN stopover became a nightmare. At each stage the\r\njuggling act intensifies for Team Dubya. Perhaps we'll get lucky and synergy\r\nwill bring the whole campaign crashing down. It's doubtful, and the last card\r\nthese jokers could pull is a staged attack on American assets in the Gulf. Team\r\nDubya wants war bad enough that another Gulf of Tonkin is certainly possible.<\/p>\r\n
Final plug on good listening\/reading: The first chapter to\r\nDaniel Ellsberg's book is online, free. It talks about the Gulf of Tonkin\r\nincident in fantastic detail. It's an insightful read: http:\/\/www.ellsberg.net\/sample.htm<\/p>\n","contact":"","link":"","address":"","phone":"","parent_id":0,"mime_type":"audio\/mpeg","summary":"Pacifica Radio, KPFA mp3 at 3.6 megabytes, runtime = 9:03 \/\/ March 15, 2003, San Francisco ","numcomment":1,"fileurl":"\/uploads\/2003\/03\/stream_sheehan.mp3","filesize":"0.1 kibibytes","article_url":"\/news\/2003\/03\/36207.php"},"attachments":[],"comments":[{"id":45910,"heading":"DENNIS KUCINICH FOR PRESIDENT???","article":"WWW.KUCINICH.COM","author":"CLEVELAND (OH)","parent_id":36207,"mime_type":"text\/plain","created":"2003-04-05 00:22:51","modified":"2003-04-05 00:22:51","fileurl":""}]}
