More Anti-War Referendums

The Town of Newport, near Wisconsin Dells, will have some anti-war referendums of their own.

Different questions this time, though:

The first of the two resolutions reads, "Would you be in favor of the United States handing full operational command over Iraqi national security to the Iraqi government before the end of 2006?"

The second resolution reads, "In regard to its treatment of detainees captured in the global war on terror, should the United States government unconditionally guarantee its full and absolute compliance with the Geneva Convention?"

I dunno. Kinda ridiculous questions - who wouldn't say yes, if asked those?

But...if they pass, the anti-war folks will spin it as public opposition to the war.

Another touch of news: Jenna noted this story on Saturday - the Dane County GOP passed an anti-anti-war-referendum resolution, just like Sauk County did.

I think we've got a better chance of stopping it in Baraboo than they have in Madison, but they're gonna give it a go. And they've got a real nice website.
