Probation
Several men in Harrisonburg received no jail time, and only a small fine and brief probation for their roles in wiring money home to their families in Kurdish areas of Iraq and Turkey. The judge cited overwhelmingly strong community support for the men as a reason for their "reward".
Several hundred residents of our small hamlet (as the Washington Post called it) showed up in the rain to pack the court house, and surround the building in support of the Kurdish men.
'tis a good day for justice... (although a bad one for the viability of the Patriot Act).

WOOHOO!!! I had to leave at 11:30 for this conference thingy and was worried that there were only about 50 people at Court Square at that time - I guess SWON and the good people of the 'Burg came through! Yay! Thanks for posting this - I was wondering about the outcome...
