We weren't there for long. Took forever to get there on the subway and a bus that stopped every half block on a long route. But very much worth the effort it took to get out there.

There are 700 people in attendance. Lots of networking going on as well as the testimony many of you have been watching live online. (Thank you Hissyspit for keeping this important event at the top of the page.)





Carlos Arredondo lost his son Alexander in August 2004. He has literally been on tour ever since. His truck is more elaborate every time I see him. It's really hard to capture it on film. But I tried.








Carlos and other families affected by this war testifying.




Carlos showed a very touching slide show of Alex's life.




Some of the media.




Walked out in the hall and there sat Amy Goodman!




I will try to get better pictures tomorrow.
