"What about the trauma a young security guard might experience after realizing that he or she had killed a nun rather than a terrorist? Sister Ardeth replied that nobody had been harmed in the more than thirty years since the first Plowshares, and that the Lord should be thanked for that. She betrayed no doubts. 'I will continue doing direct action for the rest of my life,' Sister Ardeth told me. 'If I can walk, you�ll find me out there.'"
From "Break-In at Y-12/How a handful of pacifists and nuns exposed the vulnerability of America�s nuclear-weapons sites," by Eric Schlosser (in The New Yorker).
