Boston Student Faces Felony Charges for Antiwar Demo

Boston Indymedia

Joe Previtera, a twenty one year old student at Boston College, was
arrested Wednesday and charged with felonies after dressing as a hooded
Iraqi prisoner in front of a military recruitment center on Tremont St.
in downtown Boston. In his arraignment today a Suffolk County District
Attorney suggested that Mr. Previtera's bail be set at $10,000.
However, a National Lawyers Guild attorney and Mr. Previtera's mother,
also an attorney, persuaded the judge to free Previtera on personal
recognizance.

Previtera faces misdemeanor charges of disturbing the peace and felony
charges of making a false bomb threat and using a hoax device. The
charges apparently reflect the District Attorney's concern that Mr.
Previtera might have been mistaken for a terrorist. Witnesses say that
passersby seemed unconcerned by Mr. Previtera's actions.

Michael Moore Has Film of US Hostage Berg

Contents of Interview with Beheading Victim Undisclosed

BBC News

Film director Michael Moore says he has interview footage of slain US hostage Nick Berg that was not used in his anti-Bush documentary Fahrenheit 9/11.

Moore, whose film won the Palme d'Or at the Cannes festival, said the footage was about 20 minutes long.

He said it would not be released to the media and that he was dealing privately with Mr Berg's family about it.

Mr Berg's killing shocked Americans after an Arabic-language website showed a video of him being beheaded.

Neither Moore nor his representatives would discuss the nature of the interview with Mr Berg, or its contents, the Associated Press news agency reported.

"Gore Sez Rummy, Condi, Other Bushies Should Get Canned"

Associated Press

Former Vice President Al Gore called for the resignation of Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld, CIA director George Tenet, and national security adviser Condoleeza Rice on Wednesday in a fiery denunciation of Bush administration policies.

In a speech at New York University, Gore argued that officials, including several of Rumsfeld’s top civilian deputies, should step down because the situation in Iraq is out of control.

“I am calling today for Republicans as well as Democrats to join me in asking for the immediate resignations of those immediately below George Bush and Dick Cheney, who are most responsible for creating the catastrophe we are facing in Iraq,” Gore said, drawing strong applause from the partisan crowd.
