Peaceful Nonviolent Protest of Ahmed Chalabi in Washington, D.C.
WHERE: Outside the American Enterprise Institute, where Chalabi will be speaking on "An Insider's View: Democratic Politics at Work in Iraq." Gather in front of 1150 Seventeenth Street, N.W., Washington, D.C. (near corner of M Street; closest Metro stop is Farragut North).
WHEN: 2-4 pm ET, Wednesday, Nov. 9, 2005
WHY: Ahmed Abdel Hadi Chalabi was a source of many of the bogus claims used by the White House to sell the war. He is visiting Washington, D.C., for a week beginning Tuesday evening, renting out six suites at the Ritz Carlton in Georgetown. He has planned a private meeting at the White House with Vice President Dick Cheney. He is visiting at a moment when leaders in the Senate and House have begun demanding a real investigation into the fraudulent case for war that he played a prominent role in concocting.
POSTER IDEAS:
Chalabi Lied: 100,000 Died!
Subpoena Chalabi!
