Antiwar Protesters Disrupt Senate Hearing
-----------------------------------------



The hearing was briefly interrupted by four antiwar activists protesting
the occupation of Afghanistan. The protesters threw money stained with
blood and shouted, “Stop pouring blood money into warfare.” One
demonstrator stood up to repeat the words of committee chair, Senator
John Kerry, when he testified as an antiwar veteran during the Vietnam
War: “How do you ask someone to be the last American soldier to die for
a mistake?” The activists are members of the National Campaign for
Nonviolent Resistance.
