Dear Colleague,

Narco News Publisher Al Giordano has been awarded a 2007 "Project
Censored" Award for his reports, last summer, documenting the massive
electoral fraud in Mexico's presidential race.

But the award - which we never asked for - came with conditions,
including that he allow a commercial editorial house of dubious
repute to republish his work.

Giordano responds to the email from Tricia Boreta of Project
Censored, informing him of the conditions of his award:

"Dear Ms. Boreta,

"Please don't take this personally - I think that all of you at
Project Censored are sincere people that believe you are helping me
and other independent journalists - but I must decline your 2007 award.

"I must also insist that you not publish my words or reporting, not
even in 'synopsis' form, in any book by Seven Stories Press and its
UDBCP ('Unethical Douche Bag of a Capitalist Publisher'), Dan Simon.
I do not wish to be associated with that editorial house or its owner
in any way..."
