Vandenberg AFB Authorizes Deadly Force Against Protesters
Officials at Vandenberg Air Force Base in California have confirmed that they will "shoot to kill" trespassing protesters who infiltrate the military complex once war starts.
Military police will use their ``judgment, experience and training'' to determine if lethal force is necessary" according to an official.
Somehow, we do not find that reassuring. In any event, the planned protesters say they are not scared off by the threat. Peter Lumsdaine of the Vandenberg Action Coalition, one of the organizers of the planned trespassing, said, "I think it does underline that people in the nonviolent resistance movement are willing to take some risks.''
