Posted on October 16, 2008 by iwilder
This is part of a series of 12 videos at youtube concerning the arrest of 15 demonstrators, including 10 veterans for peace, who were trying to bring questions to the two candidates at the Hofstra debate. I only watched a couple of the videos. This one explained the story a little bit.
