Guards at Vandenberg Air Force Base can shoot to kill if anti-war demonstrators get in.

Officials at the California base revealed Friday that military police have always been allowed to use deadly force if they deem it necessary to protect the base and its residents.

A spokeswoman says it's important that people understand that policy in the post-nine-eleven world. She says, "This is not fun and games anymore."

Some anti-war activists have announced plans to trespass in hopes of disrupting work and vandalizing equipment thought to help the war effort. Full: http://www.wivb.com/Global/story.asp?S=1181501 --- Sent from UnionMail Service [http://mail.union.org.za]
