[Boston-editorial] re: new feature: Protesters Outnumber Military Supporters, as Peace Activists Protest Army Recruitment on the Cambridge Common

[John Grebe]

Dear Matt

Great work, well done, and rapidly! Thank you for the dedication to get this up on 
the site by early evening.

Many good photos too. One photo in particular astonishes me. Should be featured 
prominently somewhere. A young black woman in hijab is hanging face-down, 
immobilized, a bloody "Liberated" sign dangling from her neck, while three big 
Cambridge TPF police haul her away by the arms. Can we ID those Cambridge 
Police officers so heroically liberating the Common from her peaceful presence?   
Also, the photo of her standing beside a guy in kaffiyeh and robe. They're the 5th and 
11th photos down at http://boston.indymedia.org/newswire/display/38614/index.php 
called arrest4.jpg and 268Armybday004.jpg

Kind regards
John
