'Deadly Force' Authorized Against Protestors

Louis Lingg writes "The Sacramento Bee is reporting that military police at Vandenberg Air Force Base have been authorized to use deadly force against anti-war protestors attempting to infiltrate the base.

"'Military police will use their
"judgment, experience and training' to
determine if lethal force is necessary,
she [Maj. Stacee Bako] said.

"Deadly force can be used when
lesser means of force aren't feasible or have failed, and to protect (Department of Defense) assets designated as
vital to the national security," she explained.

The deadly force policy will not deter protesters, said Peter Lumsdaine of the Vandenberg Action Coalition, one
of the organizers of the planned trespassing.""
