Anti-War Groups Throw Protests Into High Gear

Anti-war protesters are living up to their promise to ramp up demonstrations after the United States launched the introduction to its full-blown attack against Saddam Hussein in Iraq. But some experts say the demonstrations may compromise homeland security, particularly when the nation is on high alert.

"If it takes 30 to 40 police officers to keep order at a demonstration and arrest people for civil disobedience … they're not out on the street looking for the bad guys," David Cid, a former FBI counterterrorism expert and current president of Salus International security firm, told Foxnews.com.


I could understand the protests in the period before we took action, because they may have had an effect on the policy. But what in the world are the demonstrations proving now? Okay, some people support repressive dictators more than Republican Presidents. We get it. Now you're free to go home and let the cops find the people who are trying to kill us.
