Hi Declan,

I just wanted to let you know I've set up a new listserv for people to share
news from the war. I was the coordinator of the SEPT11INFO list on September
11, and I thought it would be a good idea to set up a similar independent
forum today.

thanks,

Introducing the GULFWAR-2 Discussion Group

(please feel free to redistribute)

As the war in Iraq enters its first full official day, I have decided to
volunteer and establish GULFWAR-2, an email forum to give people around the
world the opportunity to share news, questions and comments about the war
directly with each other. I am especially interested in seeing the
discussion group used as a way of disseminating news from non-mainstream,
alternative media outlets, though news from all sources will be welcome.

I am not setting up this list specifically as either a pro-war or anti-war
forum, but merely a place where people can share information and ideas with
each other and engage in constructive discussion. The forum itself is
independent of any funding or political/organizational affiliation. For the
immediate short term the list will be unmoderated in order to allow for the
most rapid distribution of news and information; if it becomes warranted
later on, I may enlist a group of volunteers moderators to help manage the
flow of traffic.

To join the list, simply send an email to

gulfwar-2-subscribe () yahoogroups com

You'll then be added to the list. You can also join the list or follow the
discussion via the list's homepage on yahoogroups:

http://groups.yahoo.com/group/gulfwar-2/

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me by email.

Thanks for your interest,
ac
