Web Coverage: Debate Protesters Attacked by Policeby Debra Sweet; A Personal Account by Matthis Chiroux; and Bill Perry’s 55 image slideshow with text commentary; 


Monday, November 10 Court Appearance:  Please join the Hempstead 15 in court Monday, Nov. 10th, at the Nassau County District Court at 99 Main Street in Hempstead, NY.

Ten members of Iraq Veterans Against the War and five of our
supporters who make up the Hempstead 15 will be arraigned for
“disorderly conduct” at 9 a.m. We’re asking our supporters to show up
at 8. Following the hearing, members of the Hempstead 15 will be
available for questions and general socializing.

We ask that all supporters continue to respect the non-violent and
reconciliatory nature and intent of our organization, particularly by
helping us spread messages surrounding dignity and medical treatment
for our veterans and acknowledgement of their voices which deserve to
be heard.

Thank you for all you’ve done, thank you for what you’re doing, and
thank you for making what’s to come a reality. May we always find
people uniting around the ideals of freedom, justice and democracy, in
times of war and peace alike.

Thank you for moving forward with us, and we look forward to seeing you all at the courthouse!

    It is unamerican for police to injure innocent people during a peaceful demonstration. These police officers should be repremanded for it.

    Charlotte Denenett is running for Attorney General in Vermont. If She wins, she will file MURDER CHARGES on George Bush and bring in Vincent Bugliosi to prosecute. This is big! Get the word out now. Time is of the essence!

    We and our extended family of NINE are all fed up with the war. We want it over. Listen to these vets who\’ve been there & are also through with war and all the other practices that call into question the name of the USA, our flag, our presidency, the kidnapping,disappearances, humilitarion, torture & failure of fair trials for the detainees, the extrajudicial killings and so much more!
