GUATEMALA CITY -- Mayan priests will purify a sacred archaeological site 
to eliminate "bad spirits" after President Bush visits next week, an 
official with close ties to the group said Thursday.

"That a person like (Bush), with the persecution of our migrant brothers 
in the United States, with the wars he has provoked, is going to walk in 
our sacred lands, is an offense for the Mayan people and their culture," 
Juan Tiney, the director of a Mayan nongovernmental organization with 
close ties to Mayan religious and political leaders, said Thursday.


Also, Travus T. Hipp did a reasonable sitrep of GWB's Latin American 
travels which I synopsized thusly:

âAll The News You Never Knew You Needed To Know âUntil Now.â

In The News:

Sitrep - Street Protests in Brasil welcome George W. Bush, thenâ Hugo 
Chavez is going to show up to lead a symbolic protest march to the 
Argentine border where GWBs next stop is Uruguay, then the president 
travels to Colombia, where their army has been fighting a proxy âwar on 
drugsâ on the CIA/State Departmentâs behalf forâ a loong time, onward to 
Guatemala, where the government posts notices a week before they 
exterminate âstreet urchinsâ so they donât kill the ones who can read, 
then Mexico.

The White House will not opposed the repeal of the PATRIOT Act subpart 
that allows a president to install prosecutors without congressional 
approval. This has been the hot button issue for the last month or so 
with the firing of 8 US attorneys.

House Democrats have a plan, a war plan, with benchmarks for Iraqi 
compliance, troops will begin withdrawing in September this year, 
finished by election 08, but itâs got a snowballâs chance to pass and a 
threat of veto by the administration.

The multinational/regional conference in Baghdad starts today.

The Republic of Georgia is sending an additional 1400 troops to Iraq. It 
has 356 troops there currently.

There are godless dollars out there. A run of new US one dollar coins 
released with inscription missing.
