CANADIANS TO LEAD WEAPONS INSPECTION TEAM INTO USA
November 21, 2002
(Toronto) - 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,
http://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.

Okay, stop scouring the archives, folks. We have a winner. Congrats to Anna for discovering that my blog on May 08, 2002 contains this hidden message
i just wrote a blog for the last 50 minutes.i went to check something in my settings and i lost the entire blog. i am very upset. it was about my underwear.
maybe i'll try later.
bugger
which you all recognize, I'm sure, as the thus-far final blog of birthday boy Pete. When queried on how she got the answer so fast, Anna responded:
i know you better than you think, michel -- i started at the beginning. i must say, i was sure it would be a reference of some kind to asian porn or james bond. ah well.
She followed this up with:
can't wait to lord it over bob. you know, you could just make me a copy of the cd james sent you -- the "winner's" cd -- which only blog contest winners can listen to. i'll use headphones when i listen to it at home.
Not a bad idea, that, but rest assured that a wholly original CD prize is on its way (interpretation: whenever I get around to it).

Well, now. Well, well, well. Thanksgiving's over (a great success - thanks to all who came and stuffed themselves), Xmas is on the way, and today is the birthday of Pete, our once (and future?) blogging companion. Happy birthday, you old bastard. And what the hell -- in honor of Pete's birthday it's time for my very first contest. Yeehah, try and contain yourselves kiddies.
So, here's how it works. I've gone back into my archives and made a slight adjustment to one of my many posts, inserting a secret tribute to our erstwhile blogger. The first person to correctly identify this hidden homage will win a specially compiled mixed CD (since that seems to be the standard prize).
And don't worry all you folks who aren't personally acquainted with ol' man Davison: all the clues you need to win the contest are in this post. May the best blogger win!
