BALTIMORE (AP) - Thirteen anti-war activists were given citations Saturday
for protesting outside the National Security Agency headquarters at Fort Meade.

An NSA security officer cited the activists for "entering into military facility
for purposes prohibited by law" and ordered them to leave the area, protest
organizers and an NSA spokesman said.

They were ordered to appear in U.S. District Court in Baltimore to be arraigned
at a date to be announced.

Twenty-five people participated in the protest, but only 13 who refused to stop
carrying signs were cited, said Max Obuszewski of the Pledge of Resistance -
Baltimore, one of those cited. They carried a banner reading "NSA = Crime Scene"
and other signs protesting the agency's involvement in the war in Iraq.

1. Maybe 13 wasn't enough...

maybe we ought to let them know how we feel. In the thousands. What they do then?
