US anti-war grannies face justice

[emad]

Elderly members of a US anti-war group called the "raging grannies of Tucson" are due in court following a protest at an Arizona military recruitment centre.

They have been accused of trespassing after entering the centre earlier this month, saying they wanted to enlist.

The group, mostly women in their 60s and 70s, said they wanted to go to Iraq so their grandchildren could come home.

An army spokeswoman says the protesters were not serious about enlisting and were harassing recruiters.

2. How do they know they were not serious. Most gmom would do anything

to protect their gchildren, except those who only talk the talk (repukes).

3. My local TV news last night reported this as a PRO war demo.

They played up the idea that the Grannies were trying to enlist to help get the war over. Spin sucks.
