London police reverse ban on anti-war demonstrators |
In an attempt to rebut claims by the Foreign Secretary, Jack Straw,
that the protests were just "fashionable anti-Americanism", Thursday's
march will be led by US anti-war protesters, including Ron Kovic, the
Vietnam veteran profiled in Oliver Stone's anti-war movie, Born on the
Fourth of July.
Mr Kovic said:
"I and other Vietnam vets can't help but see a mirror image of the
Vietnam tragedy unfolding in Iraq. I think one of the most patriotic
and democratic things a citizen can do, right now, is march against
war and in favour of peace."

Police reverse ban on march to avert threat of violence
Met to allow marchers into Whitehall after organisers warn that
restricting their route would provoke uncontrolled protests
By Severin Carrell and Sophie Goodchild
16 November 2003
The police are set to make a dramatic U-turn and allow more than
100,000 anti-Bush protesters to march past Downing Street and
Parliament this week, in a major concession to avoid violent clashes
with hardline activists.
The Metropolitan police last week banned Thursday's Stop the War
Coalition (SWC) march from Whitehall, partly because of security fears
that al-Qa'ida terrorists could use the march as cover for an attack
and partly because of demands for tight security by the White House.
But as popular support for the march escalated last week, leading the
organisers to double the numbers expected, they warned police that the
ban could provoke uncontrolled protests and clashes with hardline
activists.

Speaking of "crawling", I've heard that they may even have him
crawling in thru the sewers to avoid any protests. [Remember Herblocks
beautiful cartoon of Nixon coming out of a sewer!!!]
