DESCRIPTION:World Can't Wait--Drive Out the Bush Regime Emergency Teach-Ins:\n"It's 
 Worse Than You Think; The World Can Not Wait till 2008"\n\nFOR IMMEDIATE 
 RELEASE\nSan Francisco, CA (worldcantwait.net) October 31, 2006 – 
 Emergency\nTeach-ins will take place on UC Berkeley and San Francisco 
 State\nUniversity campuses on Wednesday and Thursday of this week, 
 sponsored\nby UCB and SF State Student Chapters of the World Can't 
 Wait-Drive Out\nthe Bush Regime and the Bush Crimes 
 Commission.\n\nLocations:\nUC Berkeley: Wednesday, November 1, 7 pm\n       
 Mulford Hall, Rm. 145, UC Berkeley\n\nSan Francisco State: Thursday, 
 November 2, 6 pm\n       Science Building, Room 210\n\nSpeakers:\nCARLOS 
 MAURICIO: Internationally known spokesman for the Stop Impunity\nProject, a 
 torture survivor group. "The situation is this: The USA\ngovernment, the 
 administration, knows that fear works very well.\nTorture works very well 
 as a means of repression. The USA government\nright now has played many 
 cards to bring fears in the United States.\nOn of them is the threat of 
 terrorism, which can be real or not. The\npoint is, torture is not for 
 gathering information. Torture is to\nbring fear to the people."\n\nLARRY 
 EVEREST (UC Berkeley event only): Journalist and author of Oil,\nPower, and 
 Empire: Iraq and the U.S. Global Agenda. "There is no 'war\non terror.' The 
 invasion and occupation of Iraq are not part of a 'war\non terror'…What 
 does exist is a horrific and criminal U.S. war of\nterror against the 
 people of the world for greater empire."\n\nROBERT HARMON: Representing the 
 National Lawyers' Guild Military Law\nTask Force, for which he served as a 
 law intern in matters of military\nand wartime law, including important 
 research on military commission\ntrials.\n\nDebra Sweet, National 
 Coordinator of World Can't Wait talking about\nthe purpose of these events 
 said "The very nature of U.S. society and\nits relationship to other 
 countries is being reshaped in horrific ways\nbefore our eyes. Yet the full 
 implications of these sweeping changes\nare not widely understood, even 
 among those who oppose the Bush\nadministration. The administration 
 systematically lies about its\nactions and agenda, while the major media 
 and Democrats allow it to\nframe the overall discussion. As a result, the 
 most crucial issues are\nnot discussed truthfully either in the public 
 arena or in election\ncampaigns. This is a major reason why public 
 resistance to Bush's\noutrages is nowhere near what is urgently needed. The 
 teach-ins are\naimed at changing this situation."\n\n\nWORLD CAN'T
