Protesters arrested at "secretive U.S.-Australian intelligence base"
Obviously, not VERY secretive in the first place and REALLY not anymore.

Five peace activists were arrested and charged Friday after protesting at a secretive U.S.-Australian intelligence base in the Outback, police said.
Two men and a woman were caught cutting perimeter fences on Friday at the Pine Gap intelligence and communications complex outside the central Australian city of Alice Springs, police said in a statement.

Another man and a woman were arrested for trying to hang a banner outside the base’s gates, the statement said. All five said they were members of a group called Christians Against All Terrorism.

“We could not allow the U.S. and Australian governments to continue to conceal the role of Pine Gap in the ongoing war in Iraq,” O’Reilly said. He did not elaborate. Analysts say Pine Gap is used to monitor information from spy satellites and intercept communications
