According to court documents, the protesters contend that they were forced down the street and arrested by police, who made no effort to separate protesters from innocent bystanders.
In addition, lawyers for the protesters claim that every person arrested was booked into a holding center at Naval Station Puget Sound at Sand Point using the same photocopied arrest warrant, which contained inaccurate information.
For example, all the forms were signed by one police lieutenant who later acknowledged that he had not made a single arrest himself. |

Local-boy-made-good George Will's column appears regularly in the Champaign News-Gazette. The specific Will column discussed in this piece by Norman Solomon no doubt also appeared in the N-G, yet there has not been any mention there of the rather obvious ethical lapses of Mr. Will in connection with his quoting of Conrad Black, his financial benefactor.
