What's in your bag, Bushy?

I got sent a picture this morning. I looked at it and then did a double take. Round where I come from, masked men and butch guys in security outfits are kinda commonplace. Kinky, but hey, Amsterdam is, after all, a very weird place. But ooooh… who is that guy?? It only gets weirder – one of he guys looks rather like George Bush, and we’ve got a photo of him being frisked by a security cop. In fact - goods are being confiscated from his person. I got all excited there for a sec thinking we’d finally got the proof that this guy inhales.

Turns out he’s one of ours in a Bush mask (huh, that plastic act was so believeable! ‘Even better than the real thing!’) So, for that matter is the security guard. On Monday 28th Greenpeace surrounded a UN building today to keep it safe from contamination – that’s why we had to stop that sneaky GB from getting in. The US has filed a complaint in the WTO against European Union's new comprehensive genetically modified organism labelling laws. With this complaint, the US also targets the the Biosafety Protocol, a global agreement that effectively secures the right of countries to ban or severely restrict imports and the use of GMOs (genetically modified organisms).

We believe genetically engineered organisms should not be released into the environment as there is not adequate scientific understanding of their impact on the environment and human health. We also believe that countries should have the right to rights reject or ban genetically modified organisms.

We wanted to make sure Bush can’t get his bag of dubious genetically modified stuff past the UN Biosafety Protocol. I guess I’ll just have to keep waiting for some pictures of the real George Bush being frisked and busted by a big guy called Horace. Maybe I should ask the CIA?
