[IMC-Video] response to killings of Indymedia journalist in Oaxaca

[Echograph]

I would like to suggest that we display this banner or something like 
it at the top of the US-IMC site in honor of Brad. Maybe a photo of 
Brad as well.

I got the graphic from -  http://imctj.espora.org/
  Also can we get a bio together and do a feature on Brad to show off 
his life and work on the US-IMC
I think the entire IMC network should come together for this. I also 
think that we should consider selecting a spokesperson to speak on 
behalf of the IMC network should the story get picked up and distorted 
my corporate media.

The screening idea is great. Like many journalists I bet Brad leaves 
behind a large volume of work, much of it unpublished. We should see 
that it gets out. That's the cause he died for.

Questions:
Any word from his family?
Also does anyone know about services? Where & when?
Has corporate media picked up the story?
Any statement from the US State department?
Status of investigation into his killing? The big question being was he 
targeted as journalist?

Also I'm willing to bet that Democracy Now will pick up this story, is 
some one from IMC in contact with them?

Those are my thoughts for now.

PS:  There is a large anti-war march and rally here in Hollywood today 
that may keep us busy today but I should be able to help with the Bard 
Will story on Sunday.
