American Views Abroad

 
An important new site is up at http://westpointgradsagainstthewar.org. Big Brother is obviously upset about the use of West Point here and the weapon of choice is the copyright West Point Academy has since 2000 on the name West Point. A New York Times Select/ New York area article which can only be read for a fee in today's NYT describes in a rather tongue-in-cheek tone how the Academy is going after this group as well as motels, wine shops and others who have used West Point in their names, some for years now. The chances, however, seem slim for the Academy. Those who run the above mentioned site are indeed graduates of West Point and have every right to identify themselves as such. We salute them.
