Will Pitt: Camp Casey has gone national.

By William Rivers Pitt

Wednesday 17 August 2005
7:30 PM

I am down at the Boston vigil for the people at Camp Casey. There are maybe a hundred people with signs and candles. Vigils like this are happening all across the country tonight. Camp Casey has gone national.

find more about tonight's vigils at www.truthout.org/cindy.shtml



After our local vigil, attended by nearly 100 people, I was elated. The news coverage was very good here in Cedar Rapids, and I was thrilled to be a part of it.

And then I read the last five words of your post, Will

and finally wept with joy at the promise tonight brings.

I am so glad to hear of this - and so P.O.'d that this week I'm working 12 hour shifts & not able to go. But very promising indeed.
