(updated for more news coverage)
Tonight in Salt Lake there was a memorial vigil to mourn the deaths resulting from the Iraq War. About 30 people total gathered at the Federal Building. Some held candles and listened to speakers and others stood on the corner and held signs.
Here is news coverage:
Channel 2, Utah
Channel 5 – this source has the most extensive story and interviews. There are brief clips of me and others standing in a line holding signs and of Tom holding his sign that says “Is 3,000 enough? How many more?”

The eminent 3,000th U.S. soldier death in Iraq approaches(2998 as of the time of this writing). In three years and 9 months since the Iraq War began, American military casualties have now exceeded 25,000. Hundreds of thousands of deaths overall have occurred in this time period as a result of this illegal war and occupation.
End it now. Impeach for Peace, January 27-29th.

Some time ago, I posted about Dave Lippman (aka George Shrub, the sining CIA Agent) getting pulled over, his car searched and arrested for being a “known protestor”.
Today I have learned through my daily news perusal that The FBI will release the last of Its John Lennon Files. There are no surprises in those files, according to historians.
In one memo, then-FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover wrote to H.R. Haldeman, President Nixon’s chief of staff, that “Lennon had taken an interest in ‘extreme left-wing activities in Britain’ and is known to be a sympathizer of Trotskyist communists in England.”

So if you are a “known protester” (as many of us are), feel good that you are being documented in official historical files.

Bush to seek $100 bln more war funds: House report
Senior Democrats, who take control of both houses of Congress next year, have indicated they would support additional funds for U.S. troops in Iraq and Afghanistan, even though many want a phased withdrawal to begin in 2007.
In other words they [the Dems] are afraid to oppose their corporate masters.

We have to keep doing stupid stuff because we are too stupid to figure out how to create real, meaningful jobs in the U.S. Not surprisingly, the Dems want to spend MORE money on war “to create jobs”:
Democrats Expected to Increase U.S. Military Spending
The House of Representatives passed the annual defense authorization bill 396-31, with only 30 Democrats voting against it. The same bill passed 96-0 in the Senate.
“The issue is jobs, pure and simple,” Hellman said. “The F-22, as its builders will proudly tell you, represents 1,000 corporations in 42 states around the country. That represents a huge number of jobs.”
Today is the day that many people worldwide remember “Pearl Harbor Day”, 1947. Here is some reading for the occasion:
