We end the show in Tacoma Washington where peace activists have launched a campaign to prevent the military from shipping 300 Stryker armored vehicles to Iraq. On Sunday night four activists were arrested at the Port of Tacoma. The protests are expected to intensify this weekend as activists are planning to engage in acts of civil disobedience to prevent the Stryker vehicles from leaving the port. Last year dozens of people were arrested at the Port of Olympia in similar actions. Following those protests, the military decided to stop using the Port of Olympia.
