Al Giordano's invitation: Now What? First, We Kill the Media
"It's mourning in America. My mailbox runneth over today with emails from friends and strangers who want to leave the United States and come down here to Latin America.

Nobody should do that to run from a fight: After all, if you are a citizen of the U.S.A., there is no place to hide from your own country's foreign policy.

And if Narco News, the first online newspaper to win First Amendment protections from the United States courts, reporting on the drug war and democracy from Latin America, has proved anything, it's that the fight can be waged very effectively from the outside and margins of the national borders, too.

So this is an invitation, both for those who now want to leave the United States (we help those who help themselves: many of my colleagues and I did it years ago), and for those who want to stay, but it is not an invitation to those who want to give up. This is only an invitation for those who want to continue fighting against the anti-democracy tyranny emanating from the North."
