Dan Berrigan was arrested on Good Friday (2010) for standing with about a dozen others and attempting to dissuade tourists from going on board the Intrepid, an aircraft carried moored in the Hudson River. On June 1st a judge dismissed charges. You can read more about the incident on The America Magazine blogsite.

ReplyDeletemy pleasure!
ReplyDeleteI hope that Fr. Dan was also voicing the names of our brave soldiers that were killed or injured.
ReplyDeleteNice color change on the blog Beth!
thanks, Brian. I was trying out the new blogger templates, and then didn't know how to get back to what I had before!
ReplyDeleteI kind of see your point Bryan - but we have the mainstream media to constantly remind us of the American military that have died or been injured. Americans like to turn a blind eye to their culpability and I think that is what Fr. Berrigan is addressing.
