And two military veterans and a Catholic priest have been sentenced to prison for staging a disarmament protest at a North Dakota missile silo last June. The men dressed in clown suits and broke the locks on the site using sledgehammers. They painted the word “disarm” and poured some of their own blood on a silo lid. The men called themselves “Weapon of Mass Destruction Here Plowshares.” The three were each ordered to pay restitution of $17,000. The oldest of the group, 73-year-old priest Father Carl Kabat, was given the longest sentence of 15 months.
