Washington is Where the Terrorists Are

I thought they meant D.C.

5 Washington peace activists get prison for weapons protest at sub base

Two priests, a nun, and two other women in their 60s who cut through fences at Naval Base Kitsap-Bangor to protest submarine nuclear weapons were sentenced yesterday to prison terms ranging from two to 15 months.

Court documents say the group cut through fences on Nov. 2, 2009, to reach an area near where nuclear warheads are stored in bunkers. The protesters put up banners, sprinkled blood on the ground, scattered sunflower seeds, and prayed until they were arrested.

About 250 demonstrators gathered outside the courthouse before the sentencing, some carrying signs saying “Blessed are the Peacemakers.’’

Three states sue over nuclear waste storage

Three Northeastern states are suing federal regulators for allowing the storage of radioactive waste for up to 60 years at the nation’s nuclear power plants.  

Then they must be "terrorist," too.
