A Connecticut woman arrested with hundreds of others for protesting outside the World Trade Organization meeting in Seattle, Washington is out of jail and back home. Yale student Terra Lawson-Remer is a member of the Student Alliance to Reform Corporations. Lawson-Remer says protestors did lock arms to keep delegates from entering the meetings, but she says the police response was too harsh. She says officers tear gassed and pepper sprayed protestors, while vandals broke windows a block away and were not stopped.ABC NewsWire:
