Freedom Writers script

I'm a group leader for Amnesty International, and I use AppleWorks to
help the members of my group write their letters. I'd like to use AS to
improve the process. Here's the beginning:

tell application "Internet Connect"
connect
end tell
tell application "iCab"
OpenURL "http://www.amnestyusa.org/freedomwriters/fw1.html";
end tell

1. Unfortunately, iCab launches before Internet Connect has connected.
How do I make iCab wait for, say, 60 seconds while the modem connects?
Is there a way to have iCab start right as soon as the modem has
connected?
2. Once I'm on that web page (or any similar page) how do I copy all of
the text on that page? I figure once I can copy it I can paste it into
AppleWorks, but that's the next step and I'm not ready for that just yet.

Any help is most appreciated.
