I wasn't there, I don't know. I hope it wasn't us, and that they are enhancing the perils of being anti-war protesters. If we are going to have any traction, we've got to be the "good guys". If we fail to maintain our standards, then we have lost already.
I lived through the last go-round of war protests in the 1960s. I know what makes the news isn't rational, thoughtful Americans. It just doesn't sell papers or ad spots.
