Hi everybody,

I just heard on the evening news that about 100 special forces have started
engaging in combat in the south of Afghanistan.  Pentagon is refusing to
confirm but the information comes from a high-ranking US official.
Since this just came in (5:30 p.m.) I propose we start organizing an
emergency action for tomorrow. I support the suggestion of having a picket
line, but an old-fashioned rally is also good. (What would be better for a
Saturday afternoon?)
I feel bad for discouraging everybody from having the action today, but I
was operating on information I had at that time, though I don't doubt they
started the action in the south earlier than 5:30 this evening.

Action Committee: I propose we stay with the same division of duties as we
arranged at our planning meeting, except that if we are going to have a
rally with speakers that we get some suggestions. I have a feeling x
is not interested in speaking at these rallies - she told me
recently that she just "didn't feel like it" for the first emergency rally
we had. I will still contact her.

So, let me know what you think.
