FOUR Christian activists were to face a committal hearing this week for breaking into a top military base in central Australia.
The Christians Against All Terrorism (CAAT) members will face Alice Springs Magistrates Court on Wednesday over a break-in at the joint US-Australian facility at Pine Gap, near Alice Springs on December 9.
Former "human shield" Donna Mulhearn, 37, of Sydney, who was abducted and briefly held by militants in the Iraqi flashpoint city of Fallujah last year, is among those charged.
The others are Jim Dowling, 50, of Dayboro near Brisbane, Brian Law, 51, of Cairns and Adele Goldie, 29, of Brisbane.
Ms Mulhearn, Mr Dowling, Mr Law and Ms Goldie face charges including trespassing and damaging Commonwealth land.
Police allege the group cut holes in the external and internal fences at Pine Gap.
The group said it was conducting a citizens inspection in protest at the facility's involvement in the ongoing war in Iraq.
The committal hearing is expected to last two days.
Was Ms. Mulhearn wearing a burqa?
In other news today Muslim terrorist explode a bomb at a bus station in Tel Aviv targeting innocent civilians and Muslim terrorists behead two civilians in Pakistan.
Can we start adding a CINO tag to stories such as this?
To misquote CS Lewis, these people have just enough Christianity in them to innoculate themselves from the real thing.
From this point on, a CINO tag it is!
Alice Springs Chickens?
Hey, Beavis, we should conduct a "citizens inspection" up their butts. No telling what they'll pull out of there next.
