Live fire exercises at Makua
The Advertiser reports
on the live fire exercises at Makua
Valley:...the scars of the
fire and past conflict remain: About 10 protesters blared a horn and held signs
such as "U.S. Army out of Makua," and an Earthjustice attorney watched through
binoculars to make sure small-arms and heavy machine gun rounds landed in
prescribed areas.More than 100
archaeological features and 40 endangered species are found in the valley, and
new cultural sites continue to be
found."The community spoke out
after the fire in July: Enough already. Stop your bombing. Stop your bullets.
Clean up and return Makua Valley," said Kyle Kajihiro, program director of the
American Friends Service Committee, who was protesting outside Makua's front
gate.The Star-Bulletin also covers the
story, and says there were nearly two dozen protestors.
