Walking the talk for 41 months in jail

A pacifist nun convicted of using her blood to deface a Colorado missile silo in 2002 was released Thursday from federal prison in Connecticut.

Federal authorities released Sister Ardeth Platte, 69, from Danbury Federal Correctional Institution after she completed a 41-month sentence.

The nuns are members of the Dominican Sisters order in Grand Rapids, Mich. They said their protest was a symbolic disarmament, prompted by an imminent war with Iraq because the United State has never disavowed nuclear weapons.

Regardless of whether their spraying a missile with blood was worthy of a prison sentence, I admire their sacrifice.
