I don't get how anyone with any integrity and who has had any cursory
contact whatsoever with the global justice movement in the US could imply
that Friedman is justified in making that claim now. When "friendly" critics
of the movement start sounding like right-wing reactionaries, it's time to
tune them out. To an end to the FTAA and end to racism AT LARGE!
