Meanwhile......in Buffalo, NY......



Three members of the activist group MoveOn.org who were arrested April 7 during an anti-war protest were allowed Friday to remain free without bail after pleading not guilty to misdemeanor charges.

Nate Buckley, 25, of Massachusetts Avenue, said he is considering civil action over mistreatment by Niagara Frontier Transportation Authority police officers who, he says, maced and clubbed him outside M&T Bank headquarters on M&T Plaza.

The defendants have video that they say shows one NFTA officer fumbling with his belt to pull out pepper spray while another holds Buckley, who is standing calmly against a wall before he is sprayed in the eyes.

About two dozen people — including Buckley's father, John, local organizer for MoveOn.org — appeared in court to support the activists. City Judge Joseph A. Fiorella appointed attorney Paul Gordon Dell to represent Buckley.
