Grandmothers for Peace Get Federal Prison Instead

Bill Quigley writes: "Cathy Webster, a grandmother living in Chico, California, organized A Thousand Grandmothers for Peace to protest in November 2006 against the torture-training School of the Americas at Fort Benning, Georgia. This week a federal judge in Columbus, Georgia, sentenced Ms. Webster to two months in federal prison for stepping through a hole in the fence onto the grounds of Fort Benning to carry her protest to the doors of SOA-WHINSEC.... Two other Grandmothers for Peace were also sentenced to federal prison for the nonviolent protest.
