Pentagon Protestors Arrested
As President George W. Bush and other members of the administration did their best yesterday to paint a rosy picture of events unfolding in Iraq, some 200 protestors marched from the Lincoln Memorial to within shouting distance of the Pentagon, where they attempted to deliver a mock coffin to Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld, reports NBC 4. Fifty-one were arrested for crossing over a barrier onto Pentagon property. They were cited for failing to obey lawful orders, a misdemeanor. Local photographer Matthew Bradley was there, camera in hand.

In the top photo, is that Dennis Farina up front?
Is that Ciny Sheehan getting a TV movie deal?
Good to see Civil War photographer Matthew Brady's still finding work.
I think that's Steven Tyler of Aerosmith on the right in the top photo.
I think the sign carried by the guy on the left side of the top picture (a couple rows back and wearing the cloak and white mask) was made out of one of the trees from Lord of the Rings. And to think all this trouble could've been avoided if the protestors just stayed within the designated Free Speech Zone!
