On August 7 of last year, Rick Sieber, his son Erin, Michele Naar-Obed, and Amy Moose entered the naval shipyard in Newport News, Virginia, disguised as workers and proceeded to symbolically disarm the USS Greenville, first-strike nuclear submarine, by hammering on its missile launch tubes. They poured baby bottles of their own blood on the hatches and spread out pictures of atomic bombing victims, mostly children, from Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Then, instead of escaping, they alerted shipyard personnel. The Greenville has 12 missile tubes designed for Tomahawk cruise missiles. If nuclear-tipped, each is the equivalent, conservatively estimated, of 11 Hiroshima-type bombs. Simultaneously, on the West Coast Fr. Steve Kelly and Susan Crane carried out a similar action on Trident missile components at the Lockheed Martin plant in Sunnyvale, California. Both groups are members of the Plowshares movement

"Working for peace in the world is as patriotic a thing as any American can do,"

Wrong-o, Mr. Jackson. This is a case of your personal delusions interfering with all of America’s national security.

“The Iraq trip is consistent with Mr. Jackson's commitment to pacifist goals, associates said.”

At least the truth comes out about Mr. Jackson from someone else’s mouth. If, as I believe, American patriotism can be defined as reverence and adherence to our Constitution, then Mr. Jackson’s goals include gutting that document in favor of his personal, delusional, philosophy. Clearly, he is a danger to freedom and security. Clearly, Mr. Jackson, and those like him, are a threat to patriots everywhere.

"I honestly believe in the preamble to the Declaration of Independence, where we declare that all people are created equal - not just Americans."

That part is true; the basic truths of the Constitution are universal. The Constitution was written, however, to protect the freedoms of Americans – not the languishing citizens of other tyrannical countries. It is not within the purview of the American Constitution to crusade throughout the world implementing one man’s delusional obsessions.

Fellow delegate George Weber, 73, of Chesley, Ontario, Canada, died in the one-car accident.

I guess they'd screw up a one car funeral (funerally?).
