Convicted of Tresspassing? Stupid, Illogical, Absurd!!
(1 comments) The Manhattan criminal trial of Cindy Sheehan, Medea Benjamin, Rev. Patricia Ackerman, and Missy Beattie is over, ending in a "guilty" verdict on the trespassing charge and a "not guilty" on four more serious counts.

Call it another example of George Bush's post-9/11 reign of terror, aggression, and disregard for civil liberies
