Fran Quigley, Common Dreams: In just 10 months, the United States managed to transform an 82-year-old Catholic nun and two pacifists from non-violent anti-nuclear peace protesters accused of misdemeanor trespassing into federal felons convicted of violent crimes of terrorism. Now in jail awaiting sentencing for their acts at an Oak Ridge, Tenn., nuclear weapons production facility, their story should chill every person concerned about dissent in the U.S. ... In the dark, the three activists cut through a boundary fence which had signs stating "No Trespassing." The signs indicate that unauthorized entry, a misdemeanor, is punishable by up to one year in prison and a $100,000 fine.
