6. I really wouldn't worry too much
If the freeper caravan actually makes it, they will "rally" at the Community Center.

Plus, Crawford /county police have been outstanding so far.

Finally, those bastards are cowards to the nth degree, anyway.

Come on down - add to the DU contingent!

28. good for YOU! that's why I went to DC the week the war started, and
marched with the vets for peace.

they let Daniel Ellsberg out of jail to march. met the Code Pink ladies (didn't know who they were then)

you'll be very happy you took your kids

''teach....your children well
their father's hell...will slowly go by''

18. i doubt it ...
Camp Casey is probably being closely watched by the Secret Service. If someone tries to pull a Kent State, he/she won't get very far because the Secret Service will take 'em out.

Really, I think they will protect the anti-war protestors for 2 reasons: 1) Secret Service personnel are there to protect the president, and in extension, Camp Casey II because it's so close to the Bush compound. 2) a Kent State will generate terrible publicity for the Bush Administration and provide more sympathy for the anti-war movement.

And 3rd, call me naive but I believe that the Secret Service are good folk.

21. It all boils down to this
No matter what happens at Camp Casey over the next few days, whether by supporters or opponents of whatever, it will all call MASSIVE MEDIA ATTENTION to the AWOL commander in chief.

Most people will see him hiding from the truth - reality.

Trouble would be a bad thing for either side. Some neo-cons just love to hate though!
