| November 5, 2007: This website is an archive of the former website, traprockpeace.org, which was created 10 years ago by Charles Jenks. It became one of the most populace sites in the US, and an important resource on the antiwar movement, student activism, 'depleted' uranium and other topics. Jenks authored virtually all of its web pages and multimedia content (photographs, audio, video, and pdf files. As the author and registered owner of that site, his purpose here is to preserve an important slice of the history of the grassroots peace movement in the US over the past decade. He is maintaining this historical archive as a service to the greater peace movement, and to the many friends of Traprock Peace Center. Blogs have been consolidated and the calendar has been archived for security reasons; all other links remain the same, and virtually all blog content remains intact. THIS SITE NO LONGER REFLECTS THE CURRENT AND ONGOING WORK OF TRAPROCK PEACE CENTER, which has reorganized its board and moved to Greenfield, Mass. To contact Traprock Peace Center, call 413-773-7427 or visit its site. Charles Jenks is posting new material to PeaceJournal.org, a multimedia blog and resource center.

Letter in HBO in Response to FAIR Action Alert
Greetings - I was shocked to read that a new HBO film - "Live from Baghdad" is depicting the story of Iraqi soldiers pulling babies out of incubators in such a way to give the story credence.
The story was concocted by a PR firm - Hill & Knowlton - and used the 15 year old daughter of the Kuwaiti ambassador to Washington as a 'witness.'
Robert Wiener, the former CNN producer who co-wrote "Live from Baghdad." As he explained to CNNs Wolf Blitzer (11/21/02), "that story turned out to be false because those accusations were made by the daughter of the Kuwaiti minister of information and were never proven."
Please hold off showing the film until the segment dealing with this can be changed or deleted. At a time when the nation is on the verge of war, the last thing we need are inflammatory distortions of this magnitude.
Thank you.
Sincerely,
Charles Jenks
President,
