[Five years into the bush regime's illegal and immoral invasion and occupation of iraq; 4,000 dead u.s. soldiers and countless iraqi deaths later, the "8 at the Gate" affinity group returned to Westover AFB early this morning.

Greenpeace is emailing its membership in the service of Cape Wind, a for-profit company seeking to erect a massive industrial wind plant in the public waters of Nantucket Sound off the Massachusetts coast.
