Several members of Resistance and Solidarity, along with DAWN and other DC groups, travelled to Ft Benning, GA for the annual protest to close the infamous Schiool of thet Americas,now known as WHISC.
This was the largest SOA protest ever, breaking last year's turnout record with over 20,000 people attending.
Despite jail terms of up to SIX MONTHS being imposed on protestors who "cross the line" to enter the base, 17 people entered Ft Benning through a hole in the fence and were arrested.
Over 20 members of Congress who supported the SOA lost their seats in the recent election, and votes to close the SOA have always failed by small margins. Could 2007 be the year?
