Your suggestion that the ED should be notified so the ED could do something to assist directors in making their inspections suggests you have been out of touch with the reality of Pacifica affairs. You theory usually "sounds good", but its empirical relevance has been missing over and over again. Don't you know that Carolyn notified the GM at WBAI and also the Business Manager and her assistant, and all was going well UNTIL somebody called the ED (or was Siegel still the iED? when exactly did he "step aside" for Nicole?). Far from "assigning" the GM to "help them with access", Siegel did exactly the opposite: he ordered the GM to halt the inspection and ordered him to retrieve any copies the director had made of anything; and he threatened to BAN the director from the station if she did not relinqish the copies. Get that? Asserting that he had the authority to prevent a DIRECTOR from even setting foot in the station?!? Asking the ED to tell GMs to assist directors is like calling on Bush to "assist" Gitmo prisoners seeking access to lawyers. --Frank LeFever
