Added by philosojerk. Barbara's Bookstore at UIC: Ann Wright (April 15 at 19:30) Ann Wright discusses Dissent: Voices of Conscience. During the run-up to the Iraq War, Col. Ann Wright wrestled with her conscience. She was deputy ambassador to a Central Asian Republic, culminating 29 years of military service, including 20 as a State Department diplomat, but for the first time she was unable to uphold a US policy. She saw clearly that ... (more)the invasion would aid terrorism and make us less secure; and as an act of conscience, she submitted her resignation to Secretary of State Powell.

Added by christiguc. Annie Bloom's Books: Ann Wright presents Dissent: Voices of Conscience (June 5 at 19:30) Dissent: Voices of Conscience profiles government officials whose loyalty to the Constitution and the American people ultimately transcended partisan politics. With careers, reputations, and personal safety on the line, they spoke out against the administration's misdeeds and cover-ups: Craig ... (more)Murray, who leaked documents revealing horrific human rights abuses by coalition ally Uzbekistan; John Brady Kiesling and other ambassadors who resigned in the run-up to war; Bunnatine Greenhouse, who blew the lid off a massive government contracting scandal; military officials like General Eric Shinseki; and many others who demonstrated the courage of their convictions. From desk jockeys to high-ranking diplomats, these patriotic men and women share one common trait: a willingness to stand up and speak truth to power. By exposing policies and actions that run counter to the best interests of the nation and its people, they elucidate why dissent is crucial to a thriving democracy.

What?Q: What is this feature for/why is it necessary? A: Because LibraryThing draws from so many different libraries, it can't enforce a single name for a given author. "Also known as" lets LibraryThing users combine author's names easily, so collections match up and everything runs smoothly. Q: Can I combine with an author not suggested above? A: Yes you can. Q: I know an author is separate, but some infernal idiot keeps combining them. Can I take a name off the combination list? A: Yes you can. Look up! Everything in the "Combine with..." section now has a link to "never combine." Use this feature wisely. "Marc Twain" may be idiotic, but misspelling should still be combined. "Mark Twain" and "Edward Gibbon" should not. Q: What authors have already been slated to "never combine" with this author? A: No authors. Q: I am the infernal idiot and I'm right! A: Take it to the Combiners group.Q: What if this author is really two authors? A: We're working on a solution, but if you want you can post a brief disambiguation notice in the Common Knowledge section. Become a member to do this. |
