Military Families for Peace - Wisconsin State Journal

Wisconsin State Journal:

"An otherwise peaceful student protest against the war in Iraq and military recruiting on campus briefly turned threatening at UW-Madison Thursday when police disconnected the groups' speaker system.

Flipping the switch effectively silenced remarks by Jane Jensen, leader of Military Families for Peace and the mother of a Blackhawk helicopter pilot who served in Iraq.

In a later interview, Jensen, 71, of Fitchburg, said she was 'humiliated and insulted' to have the microphone cut off halfway through her message about supporting the troops while fighting for their quick return.

'I just thought it was so rude,' she said. 'There was absolutely no reason for it. We were all speaking in a normal tone of voice. I think they were trying to incite the kids.'"
