Vets “just cannot sit idly any more.” We’ve been told that the outcry for peace would just spontaneously break out. Hopefully this is an indication that it is. As a result of this demonstration, 131 people were arrested. Thanks to Shannon.

Notes accompanying the video
On Thursday December 16th 2010, snow fell as 131 people were arrested in a Civil Disobedience at the White House protesting the continuing wars in Afghanistan, Pakistan and in Iraq. Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist, Chris Hedges provides an extraordinary anti-war soliloquy which is inter-cut with interview of Veterans of the recent wars and with Daniel Ellsberg, who leaked the top secret Pentagon Papers.
