Real Player of the interview (you may need to paste the URL into your RealPlayer):
American War Day II
On March 21, 2003 I sent this to friends and family:
"Day II is a little quieter here in San Francisco. Following almost 1400 arrests yesterday, the protesters seem to
be focusing on the Financial District rather than
my end of Market Street. Reports are of only 100 arrests so far today.
Take care out there!"
War Day One
On March 20, 2003 I sent this to friends and relatives around the world:
"Just a quick update from San Francisco on the first day of the Iraq conflict. Driving to work this morning, it was
more like "Belfast-by-the-Bay". Large squads of riot-gear clad police at highway exits, police and Coast Guard helicopters
hovering low over the city, fighter jets on "Combat Air Patrol" over the Bay and bridges.
Throughout the day groups of well-organised protesters have moved around the city blocking road junctions for 30 to 45
minutes and usually moving on before the police snatch squads can move in. (See picture.) Traffic is almost at a standstill
thoughout the downtown and financial districts.
As the ground attack seems to be going forward over the Kuwaiti border at the moment, I suspect that the demonstrations
will increase tomorrow. One quote I heard was that if the protests continue either the war will end or Martial law will be
declared.
I'll sent more later unless the tear-gas begins and gets into the building here."
