Five arrested in Fort Huachuca protest
by Associated Press (November 16th, 2009 @ 8:13pm)
SIERRA VISTA, Ariz. - Five people were arrested Sunday during a protest against Fort Huachuca in southern Arizona.
Those arrested were identified as the Rev. Jerome Alexander Zawada, a Roman Catholic priest from Tucson, John Edward Heid of Tucson, E. Robert Carney Jr., of Tucson, and Mariah D. Klusmire of Albuquerque, N.M..
A fifth man arrested was not identified and was turned over to the FBI.
Protesters question whether the fort teaches torture during its military interrogation courses.
Fort officials have denied such training is done in any course taught on the post.
Protesters say they also fear that the fort is training soldiers to operate unmanned aerial systems.
The protesters fear weaponized versions of the pilotless planes are being used and those drones are taking innocent lives in Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan and other places.
Counterprotesters say those against the fort lack a sense of reality, patriotism and common sense.
