personal note:
i am making this audio available to present an alternative view on recent events which i feel are not being covered in a balanced way by the american mainstream media (including npr). if anyone has audio (or video) of similar events i would be happy to provide links for them here. if you have any suggestions, questions, or for general hate/praise mail, email me also, if you would like a cd of the entire teach-in i'll see what i can do.
thanks,
tom zito
