The Dent 9 and the Declaration of Peace

On January 17th, 2006 nine people went into Representative Charlie Dent's (15th District) Bethlehem, Pennsylvania office determined to read the names of every American soldier killed in the war in Iraq along with an equal amount of Iraq civilian names. This attempt to illustrate the cost of war lasted four hours until police arrived and arrested the nine. This video includes media reports on the preliminary hearing and the trial of the "Dent 9" as well as coverage of the delivery of the Declaration of Peace to Senators Specter and Santorum.
