Phil BerriganActivist Philip Berrigan talks to the media Friday outside U.S. District Court in Portland, Maine. He and Susan Crane were sentenced to 12 months in federal prison for violating conditions of their probation.John Ewing/Portland Press Herald Berrigan, a former Roman Catholic priest, did not deny that heand other demonstrators broke through a fence at a Maryland AirNational Guard base and damaged two A-10 Thunderbolts. But he saidhe did nothing morally wrong. ''I was acting according to my conscience and the precepts ofnon-violent principles and laws,'' Berrigan told the judge. In sentencing Berrigan, Carter said he believed Berrigan'sconduct was based on ''beliefs that are profound andconscientiously held'' but said Berrigan's beliefs did not providelegal justification for his actions. Afterward, a supporter stood and shouted, ''This court is anabomination to God and man!'' before being led out by a securityofficer. Then Berrigan's supporters broke into a chorus and made peacesigns with their hands as Berrigan was escorted from the courtroom.Some shouted, ''God bless you Phil'' and ''We love you Phil'' as hewas led away. Berrigan was originally sentenced to two years and Crane to 27months in federal prison following the conviction of six activistsfor damaging USS The Sullivans while it was docked at Bath IronWorks in 1997. The protesters boarded the ship, damaged its control panels withhammers and spilled baby bottles containing their own blood. In addition to prison sentences, Berrigan and Crane were orderednot to engage in criminal conduct or to associate with othersconvicted of felonies under Carter's original terms of supervisedrelease.DU ShellBackground on Depleted Uranium AmmunitionFormuch more check out:Discounted Casualties - The Human Cost of Depleted Uranium provided by the Hiroshima, Japan newspaper - The Chugoku Shimbun.Alsothe Federation of American Scientistshas a Depleted Uranium Ammunition page. And the Military Toxics Project has a campaign against depleted uranium weapons.(left) US Armor Piercing Incendiary [Depleted Uranium] 30mm Ammunition They violated those provisions on Dec. 19, 1999, when theyjoined a group of demonstrators that used bolt cutters to get ontoa National Guard Base in Essex, Md., and vandalize two aircraft. Berrigan said the A-10 aircraft use armor-piercing ammunitionthat contains depleted uranium, which he believes is the source ofGulf War Syndrome and has caused hundreds of deaths in Iraq, and inBosnia and Yugoslavia. ''Of all the weapons of mass destruction... perhaps the mostassiduous is D.U. depleted uranium,'' Berrigan said. He believes2 million Iraqis alone have died from depleted uranium exposure andsanctions since the 1991 Persian Gulf War. Countries that sent peacekeepers to Bosnia and Kosovo have beenlooking for links between the depleted uranium ammunition andillnesses contracted by veterans. So far, scientists say there isno firm link. Before the sentencing, Berrigan's supporters marched from a BathIron Works dry dock to the federal court. Berrigan seemed to be atease, smiling and chatting and having lunch with supporters beforegoing into court.
