very much agree on drafting a statement on the bombings but not too sure
about any 'speculation' topic. it could easily get out of hand in such a
topic too - would we keep the same alertedness in there as in the main 
wire?
probably not - and that topic could easily be seen by the nutters as 
'their
home'.

don't forget that indymedia switzerland was threatened with a court case
exactly *because* they had a 'dustbin' with in there a collection of 
fascist
crap. they were actually accused of promoting the crap prominently...
