Protests are continuing across the country against the war in Iraq. In Sacramento, seven activists were arrested on Thursday in the office of Democratic Congresswoman Doris Matsui as they attempted to read the names of people killed during the Iraq War and occupation. The activists had all taken part in a 52-day peace-in at Matsui’s office. The action began on Jan. 8 and ended on Thursday. The protest has been described as the longest occupation of a congressional office in U.S. history. In New York, police arrested five members of Peace Action Staten Island on Friday while they were occupying the office of Republican Congressman Vito Fossella.
