Elliott Adams and Nate Lewis, two members of Veterans For Peace,
were part of a larger group of 15 activists arrested Thursday at
the gate to Hancock Airbase in Syracuse, N.Y., where they held
large banners and signs protesting drones for three hours before
they were arrested.
One banner showed images of children killed by U.S. drones in
Afghanistan. Another showed a reaper drone and the grim reaper.
Another quoted Martin Luther King Jr. "I have a dream" and Barack
Obama "I have a drone."
