movement of resistance capable of withstanding repression - and a
government implementing fascistic measures in the name of safety?

Goldberg and others who are playing the game of "outing" communists and
radicals in the movement appear unconcerned about the whole history of
political witchhunts in this country, as well as the current political
climate. For anyone familiar with the period of the 1950s, there is a feeling
of McCarthyism about all this -- where government committees called people to
testify about their communist membership and people were branded by
affiliation.

For instance, C. Clark Kissinger is well known as a correspondent for the
Revolutionary Worker newspaper, but in one article Goldberg quotes a
political opponent saying that Kissinger is a "core member" of the RCP. In
her next article Goldberg claims to have "learned" that Kissinger "leads"
the party. This sort of gossip only plays into the hands of those who want to
crush the anti-war movement.

Political discussion and criticism in the movement is welcome and necessary.
But it is really crucial in the land of Ashcroftian madness to fight for and
respect the rights of people involved in all the resistance movements to
protect themselves from the prying eyes of the state.

*****

Together we need to take the anti-war movement to a whole new level. And we
confront formidable challenges. As always, we welcome the wrangling, the
serious discussion, the comradeship, the creative solutions, and the
courageous actions that come from people daring to take history into our own
hands.(END)
