>A
coalition of Canadian peace groups today announced their intention to
>send an international team of volunteer weapons
>inspectors
into the United States later this winter. The coalition, Rooting
>Out Evil, are recruiting inspectors through their
newly
>launched website,
http://www.rootingoutevil.org>
>"Our
action has been inspired by none other than George W. Bush," said
>Christy Ferguson, a spokesperson for the group.
>"The Bush
administration has repeatedly declared that the most dangerous
>rogue nations are those that:
>
>1) have massive
stockpiles of chemical, biological, and nuclear weapons;
>
>2)
ignore due process at the United Nations;
>
>3) refuse to sign
and honour international treaties; and
>
>4) have come to
power through illegitimate means.
>
>"On the basis of
President Bush's guidelines, it is clear that the current
>U.S.
administration poses a great threat to global security,"
>said
Ferguson. "We're following Bush's lead and demanding that the U.S.
>grant our inspectors immediate and unfettered access to
>any
site in the country "including all presidential compounds " so that we
>can identify the weapons of mass destruction in this rogue state,"
added
>David Langille.
>
>Visitors to Rooting Out
Evil's website are invited to sign on as honorary
>members of the
weapons inspection team. Honorary inspectors
>can participate in the
action, or they can simply lend the support of their
>name as they
would on a petition. The actual inspection team that
>crosses the
border will be comprised of prominent individuals from Canada
>and
other countries.
>
>The Rooting Out Evil coalition includes
Greenpeace Canada, the Centre for
>Social Justice, and the Toronto
Committee Against War
>and Sanctions on Iraq, and is supported by
American groups such as the
>National Network to End the War
Against Iraq, Global Exchange
>and the US section of the Women's
International League for Peace and
>Freedom. They oppose the
development, storage, and use of weapons of mass
>destruction by
any state.
