ARRESTED IN DC FOR PROTESTING IRAQ OCCUPATION

  My good friend Dud Hendrick, in the photo above, was arrested the other day inside the Hart Senate office building in Washington protesting the U.S. occupation of Iraq. He is from Deer Isle, Maine and artist Pat Wheeler, also from Deer Isle, was also arrested at the same action. In fact I heard just the tail-end of an interview with Pat on Democracy Now. So our Maine friends done good! All in all there were 71 arrested at the action.

Note the Senate office staffers and visitors standing at the railings watching the arrests take place. This was a great occupation to protest the occupation!
