Come to Harvard Square May 28th – War Crimes Protest Rally!  Wear orange jumpsuit and black hoods. Write on the back “Prosecute War Criminals” (thick black sharpie works well). Are you aware that Douglas Feith is a Belfer Center Visiting Scholar at Harvard University's Kennedy School of Government? Harvard now has a responsibility to revoke the fellowship. Mr. Feith was one of the six alleged war criminals named in the case by the Spanish court headed by magistrate Baltaser Garzon (who, by the way, also prosecuted former Chilean dictator Augusto Pinochet).  The charge is that all six sanctioned torture. Feith admits he "played a major role" in Bush's Feb. 7, 2002 memo suspending the Geneva Conventions for detainees at Gitmo. http://www.truthout.org/040609A  As Undersecretary of Defense for Policy, Douglas Feith spearheaded the Counter Terrorism Evaluation Group and the Office of Special Plans which was instrumental in drawing up documents that explained the supposed ties between Saddam and al Qaeda. Now it is well known there was no connection, the "facts" making the connection were orchestrated and the reason for going to war in Iraq (that Saddam Hussein was an eminent threat to the US) was a lie. Please contact the Dean David Ellwood 617-495-1122 david_ellwood@Harvard.Edu and ask why would the Kennedy School list an accused war criminal as a visiting scholar? Suspension at the very least is warranted.  A May 28th rally in Cambridge is being organized to coincide with the Pentagon court-ordered release of torture photos, thanks to the FOIA lawsuit won by the ACLU.  If you would like to help contact War Criminal Watch notinourschool@worldcantwait.net
