MESSAGE from

The CAMPAIGN FOR THE ACCOUNTABILITY OF AMERICAN BASES (CAAB)

to the

4 STAR GENERAL visiting USAF CROUGHTON

Dear Doc

·      Since the invasion of Iraq by the US/UK led forces, the world has become a far more dangerous world. It was folly to invade this country that posed no threat.

·      The US government has put the world in crisis.

·      The crazy, costly and dangerous American Missile Defense System is being publicized as ready – soon to be announced as being ‘deployed’  This is not true – it does not work.

·      We work towards the day when the US Visiting Forces and their Agencies in the UK return to within their borders.

·      Please go down the path of alternatives to violence – what you are engaged in will lead to disaster.

An upside down US 'Stars and Stripes'  -with the words 'FOR A HEALTHY AND SAFER WORLD - VOTE HIM OUT' written on it - was raised on the main flag pole on base.  CAAB was on base for about two hours and left having had no contact with the security patrols.

Traffic coming into the base was held up for a while when CAAB stood with an upside down US flag - 'INDEPENDENCE FROM AMERICA ' and a banner with

'STOP STAR WARS' written on it.

The General left USAF Croughton at about 9 am on Saturday 9 October - CAAB was prevented by police from following his convoy - destination unknown.
