Dear Radio Friend,

A SPECIAL EDITION of the Shortwave Report (March 24, WAR ON THE INSTALLMENT PLAN, PART 1) is up at the website http://www.outfarpress.com/outfarpress/shortwave.shtml in both broadcast quality 13.2MB) and quickdownload or streaming form (3.2MB) (28:26)

A REGULAR FRIDAY EDITION OF THE SWR WILL BE POSTED FRIDAY MORNING, MARCH 28- THIS IS A SPECIAL EDITION COVERING WORLD OPINION ON THE WAR ON IRAQ.

It's free to rebroadcast, please notify me if you're airing it and haven't notified me in the last month, please mention the website if you only air a portion. If you just want to listen and have a slow connection, try the streaming version- lower sound quality but good enough and way easier if you don't have a high-speed internet connection. If streaming is a problem because of your slow connection, download the smaller file- it takes 20 minutes or less, and will play swell in any mp3 player application (RealPlayer, Winamp, Quicktime, iTunes, etc) you have on your computer. I don't know the schedule of any airings at this time, but the following webcasters will be streaming it- LavaLamp Radio (Japan)- http://www.rinku.zaq.ne.jp/bkaec205/

And the Partytown streams are great and informative- http://www.partytown.com/radio

This week's show features stories from Radio Netherlands, Radio Deutsche Welle, the Voice Of Russia, China Radio International, and Radio Havana Cuba.

From Germany- A German press review from Saturday, covering the role of the media in war and the possible end of international law. Then a report on the anti-war protests around the globe.

From Netherlands- Iraq’s ambassador to the UN accuses Kofi Anan of helping the US forces take over Iraq’s oil fields. The US has released 19 Afghan men from Guantanemo Bay. Spain’s Prime Minister Aznare has infuriated the people of Spain by joining the US/British coalition.

From Russia- Russian President Putin and the Parliament have renewed their criticisms of the US/British War. Vice-President Dick Cheney's daughter is in Jordan, waiting to go into Iraq as a human shield. A leader of the Iraqi opposition Shiites says the war is becoming more aggressive than liberating. India’s Prime Minister and the Pope both call for an immediate end to the war.

From China- An analysis of recent US polls saying that more Americans are supporting the war.

From Cuba- A report on civilian casualties in Iraq, and the impending humanitarian disaster. Then a Viewpoint on world opposition to the war on Iraq.

All that plus times and frequencies for listening at home. I hope you'll listen and air this if you're connected with a radio station. I am still wondering how to get financially compensated for the 25 hours I put into this program weekly- any ideas are appreciated. Any stations rebroadcasting this (or listeners) are welcome to donate for production costs. You can do so through the website. Many thanks to those that have donated! No Guilt!
