A street theater act called the “Tacoma Puppetistas” performs a mock court proceeding where puppeteers representing: President George Bush, former Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld, Secretary of State Condolezza Rice, and Vice President Dick Cheney are charged with war crimes during a rally for supporters of 1st Lt. Ehren Watada near the gates of Fort Lewis Army Base, DuPont, Wash., Monday. Watada announced last June that he would refuse to go to Iraq with his unit, the 3rd Brigade, 2nd Infantry Division. Now the 28-year-old Watada faces four years in prison if convicted on one count of missing movement and two counts of conduct unbecoming an officer/AP Photo.
