ITEM OVERVIEW
Both on the spot reportage (and photos), together with a look at the broader issues raised by the protest: the secretive and undemocratic practice of the WTO, the trampling on rights to assembly and free speech by deploying the military to put down protest, and the menace to individual liberties of globalization and offshore government. Whether attacking the police, some of the more ridiculous elements of the protestors (remember the AFL-CIO demanding a place at the table, or Medea Benjamin of Global Exchange demanding the police arrest people), or the main movers of globalization, Cockburn in particular has never been as sharp, witty, and barbed in all the right places.
