The six people, including William Woodward, Macy Morse, Randy Kezar, Nina Jordan, Lee Roberts, and Aaron Carine were arrested May 31, 2006, at Bradley's office after the congressman's nonresponse to the group's request for a substantial statement or committment regarding withdrawing American forces from Iraq.

If you want a clear explanation of the science surrounding global climate change, this is certainly it. It's worth seeing for this alone, despite it's flaws. Gore's presentation is clear and well-articulated; the images of environmental holocaust and its horrific human consequences do inspire one to take action; and oh the graphs, so many graphs. It's flaws, however, are certainly present.
