Powerful demo in Washington yesterday (see link below) but not a word in the NYT about it. Vets for Peace had 135 people, mainly vets, chain themselves to the railing around the White House, including Ellsberg, Hedges, and a major FBI whistleblower. All were arrested.
At Times Sq. about 100 people, Vets & allies, had a peace rally where the names of those from NY that were killed in Afghanistan were read. Then 10 went into the gutter and blocked traffic, holding their peace signs, for at least 20 minutes, and they too were all arrested. There was some press there but nothiing was used.
