No Logo, Naomi's Home Away From Home
Oh dear me. Naomi Klein, the La Passionaria
of the global justice movement, is wandering around
loose in Iraq as a freelance war correspondent.

Naomi Addresses the Planetary Masses
Could this possibly be any kind of good idea?
You know, if I were Al Qaeda, and I could pick one
significant political figure from the West that I would most
want to set fire to and dangle off a bridge, that person
would be Naomi Klein. These Islamic fundie guys have been
trying to steal the thunder of the anti-WTO crowd
ever since they took out the World Trade Center.
If they manage to murder Naomi Klein in Iraq, that
would be a bigger propaganda deal than conquering
Baghdad. Leftist, feminist, peacenik, Jewish, world-famous,
a moral exemplar to a generation of planetary activist youth,
man, what's not to kill?
Naomi Klein is ten times more influential than Moqtada Sadr.
Yet they're letting this leftie prophetess wander
around the battlezone as if she were just another
Rachel Corrie.
The press office in Iraq is cram full of Republican
Party operatives. Surely they think about political problems like
this. Are they nuts? What is the story here?
