Mark Gabrish Conlan/Zenger's Newsmagazine,

The September 25 program at the First Unitarian-Universalist Church in Hillcrest was advertised as “War Crimes and Atrocities: The Rumsfeld Connection.” While the current U.S. Secretary of Defense was mentioned only in passing, the matter-of-fact tones in which the speakers, veterans Dennis Stout and Dorothy Mackey, told their stories chilled the blood of most of the 250 people in the room.

The World Says No to War!
...,

"Every two days we spend 1 billion dollars in Iraq... Imagine what that money could do for the causes we believe in.... What they are doing with our money is criminal." Bob Filner was one of several powerful speakers at Sunday's "The World Says No to War" Demonstration in Balboa Park.

About 500 San Diegans took part in the demonstration organized in solidarity with the Anti-war March in New York. The march following the speeches was loud and invigorating. As we marched we reminded on lookers that the war is not over yet and there is still a lot of peace work to be done.
