RE the ISO's work in Defense of the Charleston 5. Are you saying, helping to 
build a campaign to defend 5 rank and file workers, who were facing felony 
charges and possible prison sentences up to 5 years is "drooling over left 
AFL-CIO leaders?" If so, please explain. I don't understand that position. Some 
ISOers are students, some aren't. Those on campus, work with students. Those 
who are working full time jobs relate with co-workers. I see no problem with 
trying to unite class conscious students and workers.
