Turns out the newest SF Weekly narrowly beats Calstuff to the punch vis a vis the collapse of the Anti-Wars.

The piece, by Matt Palmquist, is well written, and gets into the details of the personalities involved. Great, revealing quotes abound:

"It's not like there's some secret cabal in Chicago that tell us what to do," Snehal says, in breathless, practiced soundbites that bespeak a semester spent talking to the media. "I wish there were, it might make it easier for organizing.'

From Cantor: 'Why are the chants the same as when we bombed Iraq? We're just regurgitating the same crap we always regurgitate. This time was supposed to be different."

The article misses the input from other Lefty groups that Rory picks up on, but Palmquist's personality-driven, disorganized movement seems more accurate than Rory's commie-fest.
