A Des Moines man known for years or peace protests is stirring up trouble again. Frank Cordaro was a Catholic priest when he began protesting war, the military and US policy, arrested frequently in demonstrations at the Strategic Air Command at Offut Air Force Base in Omaha. Cordaro’s left the priesthood but still stages public protests, and says he and a small group of fellow protestors held a couple days of retreat, praying and reflecting before heading to the military base today. They note recent reports that federal agencies have been doing far more spying than previously known into the affairs of US citizens, and Cordaro says the protest will highlight that action on the Catholic holiday known as the Feast of the Holy Innocents, when the Bible says King Herod murdered all young boys in his country in what Cordaro says was an attempt “to preserve national security.”
