Aren't Quaker peaceniks just as nutty?
"Katrina, what makes you so humorless? Does it go way back to your childhood when your dad gave you the toaster and the radio as bath toys?"
Then vanden Heuvel must support the release of the Barrett Report? Nothing to see there, Katrina, right?
I saw a little of this today. I cannot stand the three of them--difficult to watch.
Have they done anything on the strike?
And BTW...Happy Hannukah!!!
Catholic Workers sounds a lot like World Workers Party. I can't find it on Discover the Network http://www.discoverthenetwork.org/default.asp
but I sent them the question. I hope they investigate.

The group of four "peace activists" that were "kidnapped" in Iraq last month belonged to the Christian something something group. The one American in this group is a Quaker, according to publicity by his daughter.
Perhaps, if there has been surveillance on Quakers, it has been on people like this guy. Women who support Code Pink activities camouflage themselves as Friends when they go into high schools to recruit young girls to theur radical leftist causes.

The St. Patrick's Four and Resistance to the War in Iraq
by Bill Quigley
"Have you heard about the St. Patrick's Four? Of course not. They aren't going to tell you about the St. Patrick's Four. The St. Patrick's Four were four people from the Catholic peace movement who, on St. Patrick's Day last year, poured their blood around at a military recruiting station in Ithaca, New York, and they were put on trial. And the jury refused to convict. It was a hung jury. So I'm hopeful about the future of this country based on the idea that people have a certain common decency and that when they learn the truth, the truth has a power that can overcome even the most sophisticated of propaganda machines that they government has and the media collaborate with."

Two years ago today, March 17, 2003, four peace activists in Ithaca, New York, poured their own blood on the walls, posters, windows, and a US flag at a military recruiting center in order to try to stop the imminent invasion of Iraq. They took action based on international law. Then knelt in prayer and waited to be arrested. Though one state court jury refused to convict them, today they face serious federal charges.
Last year the peace activists convinced nine members of a state court jury that their actions were consistent with international law. Daniel Burns, 43, Clare Grady, 45, Teresa Grady 38, and Peter DeMott, 57, all members of the Magnificat Catholic Worker community in Ithaca, admitted to the jury from the very beginning that they poured blood in the recruiting center in order to try to stop the war in Iraq. They testified they risked arrest in order to protect our sons and daughters in the military and to protect our sisters and brothers in Iraq.

The libs really truly believe that Bush lied to get us into Iraq. From that perspective, these fears of spying must be very real to them.
Pat tried to respond to her ridiculous assertions and was told by Couric to "hold-on Pat" until they framed their accusations to their liking.
If you have nothing to hide
why would you be afraid of a
a little spying?
BTTT.
Anybody know how many Quakers have been arrested?
Members of the Catholic Workers have a history of actions at military installations. For example, read this account of the actions of Peter DeMott, one of the four convicted of spraying blood at the recruitment center:
"On December 13, 1980 Peter DeMott, former seminarian and Vietnam veteran from Jonah House, entered the General Dynamics Electric Boat (EB) shipyard in Groton, Connecticut during the launch ceremony for the "USS Baltimore" fast attack submarine. Noticing an empty EB security van with keys in it, he got into the van and repeatedly rammed the Trident "USS Florida" denting the rudder. Security guards then broke into the van and arrested him. He was tried by a jury in New London Superior Court and convicted of criminal mischief and criminal trespass. He was sentenced to one year in jail."

The Quakers bing supposedly peaceful is irrelevant. The fact that they're against the war effort aids and abets the enemy, and warrants putting them on the investiagation list.
