Canadians to lead weapons inspection team into USA

A coalition of Canadian peace groups today announced their intention to
send an international team of volunteer weapons inspectors into the 
United
States later this winter. The coalition, Rooting Out Evil, are recruiting
inspectors through their newly launched website, www.rootingoutevil.org.

"Our action has been inspired by none other than George W. Bush," said
Christy Ferguson, a spokesperson for the group. "The Bush administration
has repeatedly declared that the most dangerous rogue nations are those
that:

1) have massive stockpiles of chemical, biological, and nuclear weapons;
2) ignore due process at the United Nations;
3) refuse to sign and honour international treaties; and
4) have come to power through illegitimate means.

"On the basis of President Bush's guidelines, it is clear that the 
current
U.S. administration poses a great threat to global security," said 
Ferguson.
"We're following Bush's lead and demanding that the U.S. grant our
inspectors immediate and unfettered access to any site in the country -
including all presidential compounds - so that we can identify the 
weapons
of mass destruction in this rogue state," added David Langille.

Visitors to Rooting Out Evil's website are invited to sign on as honorary
members of the weapons inspection team. Honorary inspectors can 
participate
in the action, or they can simply lend the support of their name as they
would on a petition.

The actual inspection team that crosses the border will be comprised of
prominent individuals from Canada and other countries.
The Rooting Out Evil coalition includes Greenpeace Canada, the Centre for
Social Justice, and the Toronto Committee Against War and Sanctions on 
Iraq,
and is supported by American groups such as the National Network to End 
the
War Against Iraq, Global Exchange and the US section of the Women's
International League for Peace and Freedom. They oppose the development,
storage, and use of weapons of mass destruction by any state.
