A spokesman for the U.S. Parks Police said nine people had been arrested for crossing a police line opposite the White House and that the rest were held for protesting without a permit. "We expect them all to be released within a couple of hours," he said. *** "protesting without a permit"? I haven't heard that before. Would they have still needed a permit if they were on a public sidewalk instead of in a park? How difficult is it to obtain a permit? How does the park decide whether something counts as a protest, rather than say, a meeting or a vigil? It doesn't sound good, anyway. Although I do wonder if these experienced peace activists WANTED to get arrested, since they figured it would make more news. I wish there were more eyewitness quotes in the article. . -- "Erik Reuter" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://www.erikreuter.net/ _______________________________________________ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l
