The manual will stand in stark contrast to the Al-Qaeda guidebook on the basics of terrorism, found by Coalition Forces in Iraq, officials said in a Monday press release. The gathering was inspired by the success of the One Million Voices Against the FARC, a group started on Facebook by young people in Colombia who led 12 million people in 190 cities to take to the streets in protest against the longstanding extremist Colombian group. Summit speakers include "The View" co-host Whoopi Goldberg, Facebook co-founder Dustin Moskovitz and Undersecretary for Public Diplomacy James Glassman.

Panel topics include: How To Build Transnational Social Movements Using New Technology, How To Use New Mobile Technologies and How To Preserve Group Safety And Security. Participants will also be honored at a red-carpet event featuring celebrities, business leaders, and civil society figures at MTV's Times Square headquarters. Glassman said at a briefing that State provided "a small amount of money on the order of, I believe, $50,000" to help bring participants to the United States. Howcast.com, a Web site that offers how-to videos -- like how to tie a tie and how to avoid jet lag -- is the event's main sponsor, he said.
