No sale, tipscommissar. A number of antiwar activists who support these kids can match or exceed your antiwar credentials -- including some who actually helped organize the marches you participated in - including those against the first Gulf war.

That the antiwar movement has made mistakes is certainly not disputable -- indeed the list is long and distinguished. But this was not one of them -- despite the fact that it exceeds your personal political comfort zone. No doubt other direct actions around the country aimed at demanding accountability from war profiteers, politicians, military recruiting centers, religious figures and media pundits may leave you feeling just as discomforted.

Ironically, you were asked in an earlier comment post if you had taken the time to talk with Catholic peace activists about their response to this action. You have yet to reply. But at least one veteran activist from the Catholic Worker movement has, in an open letter published on this and other websites and circulated nationally. More are on route. I suggest you take the time now and read them before purporting to speak for that sector of the movement.
