  "[The jury found] the three protesters guilty of a charge of interfering with national security and a second charge of damaging federal property.

  "The trio spent about two hours inside the Oak Ridge facility in July, cutting through fences to reach a facility known as the 'Fort Knox of uranium.' Once there, they painted slogans, chipped off a part of a wall with hammers and splattered human blood on the exterior.

  "Officials maintain that there was never any chance the protesters would reach the uranium stored inside, but prosecutors argued the security breach harmed the Oak Ridge facility’s international reputation and that operations continue to be disrupted by the action."


  Oh, the harm that nun done dun.
