In case you missed it.

Anyone notice the first guy was walked away with cuffs on. The next picture shows the guy in the orange jacket being dragged away. Any guesses as to the difference in attitude between the two?

I think

the first one walked away on his own and the second refused to walk away and was dragged. I'm not sure if there was an attitude difference so to speak. Maybe a difference in tactics.

Better publicity needed

First, I'm _really_ pleased to see such acts of resistance to the war crimes being carried out by the government in my name. However, I feel compelled to offer a little constructive criticism. The recent actions could have been much more successful had more people participated in them. I'm in Seattle and heard nothing about them locally until the news on NPR this morning. Had I known, I would have been eager to make arrangements to be down in Olympia on Tuesday and/or Wednesday. Upon checking both Portland and Seattle indymedia, I noticed a single article on the Portland site with a very brief description of the upcoming actions and no contact information or further details. Consider getting the word out better next time. Thanks.
