Dear colleagues, While I think that concerns expressed about putative ALA biases and need- to-know messages about damage wrought to Israeli libraries and resource centers as a result of terror attacks and Hezbolla or Hamas rockets are of direct and immediate concern and importance to the raison d'etre of this list, I strongly question the inclusion of such messages as this one. Tell me why it should be on *this* list, please and thank you.
