Liz McAlister Cofounder of Jonah House and longtime peace activist speaks at the 10/05/09 Whitehouse Protest

The war we resist today began in 2001; declared as a reaction to 9/11, it was fully prepared for prior to 9/11. In less than a year, Bush was agitating for war in Iraq - searching there for weapons of mass destruction. Three nuns found them in Colorado. Ardeth Platte, Carol Gilbert and Jackie Hudson enacted a Citizens' Weapons Inspection – cutting the fence at the N-8 Missile Silo to expose the presence of a first strike nuclear weapon on high alert. http://www.jonahhouse.org/McAlister_Standing%20up%20to%20Powers.htm
