Busloads converge on Washington for Iraq protest

By Niala Boodhoo


WASHINGTON, Oct. 25 — Demonstrators from more than 145 U.S. cities poured into Washington on Saturday for the first major peace protest since President George W. Bush declared an end to major combat in the war on Iraq.

Small groups of protesters carrying signs demanding an end to the U.S. occupation of Iraq gathered outside the U.S. Capitol building and across downtown Washington, heading toward the National Mall for a late-morning rally followed by a march to surround the White House. (snip)
