Newsitem : Indymedia have published a world shaking expose of a conference of the IAWM??? Using quite a subjective headline in the sun sense of the word. For immediate use.

After a very slow start in highlighting the opposition to the war on Iraq, the self-styled 'collective' have hit the ground running on this one.
A spokesperson was not heard saying 'Yeah we were very late over the Bush-Blair thing up in the occupied 6 but we've made up for it on this scoop'.
Although the war on terror, Blair in Dublin, water privatisation, foundation hospitals, the G8, suspension of democratic procedures (assembly), May day and various other issues were deemed less insular, the editors thought that this debate would really rock the system.

The same spokesperson then did not go on to say 'When I grow up I want to take things out of proportion in the real world and make loads of money out of it'

Then follows:

A number of quotes taken out of context.

A meaningless debate from individuals who have no interest in reaching agreement.

This thread deleted because it touches on the nature of libertarianism ie pretend to be liberal but end up more authoritarian than those who govern the status quo.
