And Speaking of Pond Scum
Dana Hull in the San Jose Mercury News reports that Anti-war Activists Plan to Disrupt Daily Activities If War Breaks Out:

If U.S.-led forces attack Iraq, anti-war activists in the Bay Area and around the world have "emergency response"' plans to immediately blockade federal buildings, shut down commuting arteries and disrupt the financial districts of major cities with massive protests and non-violent civil disobedience.

Many organizers have kept their intentions under wraps so that police and officials at U.S. military bases and large corporations will be caught off-guard. But drafts of some plans have already appeared on Web sites, and intensive training sessions covering everything from "non-violent blockades" to "jail solidarity" tactics are under way.
...
Some disruptions have already started: eight anti-war protesters were arrested in Seattle last week after blocking the eastbound lanes of Highway 520, which ground the morning commute to a halt.

In California, dozens of protesters plan to infiltrate the Vandenberg Air Force Base on the central coast, hoping to disrupt military work. A Bay Area collective called Direct Action to Stop the War plans to blockade the Transamerica Pyramid, the Pacific Stock Exchange and the Federal Reserve in San Francisco.

In San Jose, Los Angeles and Chicago, activists have spread the word to converge at federal buildings.

In Britain, trade-union leaders have warned there will be national strikes. Irish activists plan to blockade a civilian airport where U.S. military planes regularly stop to refuel. Activists have already sneaked onto the tarmac of Ireland's Shannon Airport and hammered on a U.S. Navy hangar, spray-painted peace signs on a KC-130 military transport plane and chopped up pieces of the runway before being arrested.

Saboteur wannabes - Saddam would be proud.

During the Persian Gulf War in 1991, protesters shut down the Bay Bridge for two days in a row, creating major traffic jams for local commuters. This time, the focus is primarily on federal and military buildings and large corporations that activists believe have a financial interest in a war with Iraq.

Still whining the same old tune. And still just as smart:

The San Francisco police and many downtown businesses have heard about the so-called "day of" plans and are discussing how to respond. One building that has been listed as a possible protest target is the historic Shell building on Bush Street.

But property manager Susan Santiago says Shell Oil has not had offices there for decades. Building officials plan to hang a sign stating that the Shell building is not affiliated with the oil company if crowds gather.

The article has more about police and saboteur tactics. In this neck of the woods, the police would be hopping to keep the locals from administering a drubbing to these wingnuts, which is why they won't show up here. My sympathies to city folks.
