Dear Friends, April
17, 2003
$1.1 billion: the amount our government is squandering daily to
fund its illegal war on Iraq. In the time since I began typing this message, a
www.costofwar.com reports that over $41,265,540,319 plus, have gone to
pay for the war: that money could have paid for at least 1,046,706 four-year
scholarships to public universities. We can only reflect on the words of
Martin Luther King Jr.: "A nation that continues year after year to spend more
money on military defense than on programs of social uplift is approaching
spiritual death."
News from Baghdad: we learned just a few hours ago that following a
meeting between IPT members and representatives of the US Military’s
Civil Operations Center (CMOC), all Voices in the Wilderness members are
banned from the Palestine Hotel, home not only to CMOC but also the
international press corps.
