March 19th is the 3-year anniversary of the US invasion of Iraq.

Also, today is the International Day Against Police Brutality.  See
http://www.narconews.com/Issue40/article1677.html
and the recent Indymedia feature on Federico Aldrovani.  Philadelphia 
recently had a homegirl, Rosalyn Atkinson, die in prison because she was 
denied medical treatment in jail and because the doctors fatally overdosed 
her on high-blood-pressure medication 
http://www.philly.com/mld/philly/news/14093200.htm
And of course there's still news coming in from the Diaz/Bolzaneto trials 
in Italy (https://supportolegale.org/)
We've all got our stories.  We should make a feature about it.  Any 
proposals?

Just from the title alone, I would support hiding the Iran War 
article.  It's inflammatory makes broad assumptions based on predictions 
and imputed motives that cannot easily be proven.  Also as someone whose 
entire family has been heavily affected by the nuclear industry, I don't 
think we should be lightly making accusations about nuclear plans.

I think the Chicago feature is good, if a little late; today is the last 
day for proposed amendmants to the Chairman's Markup of the proposed H.R. 
4437 (the Sensenbrenner-King Bill, which would criminalize all assistance 
to immigrants unlawfully present in the United States, and criminalize 
immigrants without papers as well) in the US Senate Judiciary Committee. 
So some resources about the proposed elgislation would be good.  Here are 
some resources:
