After a two-day trial, the jury returned a guilty verdict and Barrows, an artist and a nonviolent peace and justice activist faces up to six months in prison. “I continue to believe that we, the people, should not allow Congress to insulate itself from us, and that it’s our duty to end this war and occupation,” Barrows said. “When I spoke out, it was clear that General Petraeus was suggesting an expansion of the war into the nation of Iran; he was blaming problems in Iraq on it neighbor.” This month Congress is expected to pass an additional $170 billion more for the military occupations and operations of Iraq and Afghanistan. Judge Robert S. Rigsby is a reactivated colonel in the U.S. Army Reserves.
