RE: Hi Steemit! I'm Adam Carter - Independent Journalist, Guccifer 2.0/DNC Hack Debunker

Stockwell wrote a book, In Search of Enemies, about manipulations used to wage war in Angola. An edited transcript of the Winooski 44 trial was published under the title, "Por Amor Al Pueblo (For Love of the People)." My oldest daughter was in my arms when we heard the jury's verdict, "not guilty." By the time she went to law school lit was literally a textbook example of the successful use of the necessity defense. Wikipedia has an overview and collection of materials.

It was a week-long, with incredible witnesses, including Howard Zinn, Ramsey Clark, David MacMichael, another VIPS member, Salvadoran victims, and an art therapy student who brought children's pictures of horrific war atrocities. They testified by day, and at night we had them speak at churches and town halls across the state. We attacked the government head-on. A couple of weeks later, Casper Weinberger, Reagan's defense secretary, announced the Weinberger Principles, point five of which foreswore wars that citizens didn't support. Circumstances at the time suggested the trial victory contributed to calling off the invasion of Nicaragua.
