Questions to ponder

  • Who decided on the terror strategy for the Seattle WT0 meeting?
  • Where did all the money come from for the equipment and training to carry it out?
  • Who conducted the training?

    hang of arresting unarmed US protesters during "inter-agency"
    crowd control exercises held last spring in Oakland.
