Veteran for Peace Arrested

Jul 08, 2006 19:31


What happens when a veteran is open about his beliefs in peace?

In this great and noble country, where freedom of expression and democracy are so highly valued that our Presidency has decreed it be our greatest export, a war veteran gets arrested for wearing a "Veterans for Peace" t-shirt in a Veteran's hospital.

Has this country gone insane?

"And just for the record? I'm not paying the fine. I'll see Adkins and Ousley and Dubya's Director of the Dept. of Veterans Affairs, if he wants to show up, in United States District Court on the appointed date. And if there's a Chicago area attorney who'd like to take the case, I'd really like to sue them -- from Dubya on down. I have to believe that this whole country has not yet gone insane, just the government. This kind of behavior can't be tolerated. It must be challenged."
