Grandmothers offer to sacrifice themselves in Iraq to save the life of a young person. For their trouble they are arrested.

The Granny Peace Brigade, they call themselves. Last October, they descended on the armed forces recruiting station in Times Square. They wanted to enlist, they said. They've been around. Send them to Iraq, they demanded, instead of some 20-year-old who has barely tasted life.

When the military, shockingly, showed no interest in signing them up, this Walker and Cane Brigade held a sit-in. The police ordered them to leave. They refused. So officers young enough to be their great-grandchildren handcuffed them gently and put them under arrest.

What a wonderful group of ladies! I am incredibly impressed with their determination. Fucking good for them!

George Bush cannot bring any real terrorists to jusice but he has no problem allowing these patriotic elderly women to be placed in a jail cell. Some defender of America he turned out to be!
