FOR leader among 4 sentenced to jail in Syracuse  http://forusa.org/blogs/ethan-vesely-flad/for-leader-among-4-sentenced-jail-syracuse/9963 Last week, 31 peace activists were found guilty on two charges of disorderly conduct for their role in an April 22, 2011 protest at the Hancock Air National Guard Base in upstate New York. They and seven others, known as the “Hancock 38,” had participated in a symbolic “die-in” at the main entrance to the military base, symbolizing the indiscriminate killing of civilians in Afghanistan and Pakistan by armed drones.The following eight-minute video describes the protesters’ case as they prepared for the trial sentencing, and their hopes for educating others about the use of drones: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OxmKlIdfL4s
