To the Editor:
As one of those who assisted with the counter-protest to the Pax Christi Die-in, I just wanted to make an important distinction. The fliers which discouraged a withdrawal from Iraq were not a product of the planners of the scheduled protest. The intent of distributing the fliers was to spark provocative debate in opposition to Pax Christi’s views on U.S. involvement in Iraq, and indeed, it seems that they have. But, for the sake of eliminating ambiguity and confusion, I just wanted to make an explicit and direct clarification of the events that took place.
