At 8am this morning a Greenpeace hot air balloon delivered an anti-war message to RAF Fairford in Gloucestershire, from where US B52 planes will be launching bombing raids against Iraq.
The balloon featuring the message 'NO WAR' over-flew the site and, echoing leaflet drops over Iraq, dropped leaflets down to personnel in the base.
The Greenpeace web team hand-delivered almost 8,000 email messages to Tony Blair's office at No. 10 Downing Street this week.
We believe internet users have the right to send the Prime Minister an email - especially when it concerns an issue as serious as the war on Iraq.
Since Tony Blair doesn't have an email address, we set one up for him (Tony.Blair@uk.greenpeace.org). Thousands of people used this address to urge the Prime Minister not to go to war.
Greenpeace and other anti-war groups today urged people to join a mass demonstration outside Parliament today when MPs debate whether to go to war against Iraq.
People are being urged to come to parliament and ask to speak to their MP, then to join a No War protest in Parliament Square.
Greenpeace today comprehensively rejected the Attorney General's statement that the UK has the legal authority to attack Iraq.
Lawyers for Greenpeace have undertaken a line by line analysis of the legal arguments put forward in the Attorney General's statement and concluded that they do not constitute a legal basis for going to war without the backing of the UN.
Kate Harrison, Legal Advisor for Greenpeace UK said, "The Attorney General's statement shows that the government is scrabbling around for a legal justification for going to war."
