Hundreds of protesters besiege Bush-Putin meeting

Hundreds of demonstrators calling for the impeachment of President George W. Bush marched to within a kilometre of the site of the meeting between Bush and Russian President Vladimir Putin. Protesters chanting slogans including "Impeach now, impeach now!'' carried colourful signs and pulled a wagon with a two-metre-tall replica of the Statue of Liberty in a coffin, representing the perceived loss of liberties under the Bush administration. Four demonstrators wearing orange jumpsuits, like those worn by detainees at the U.S. navy base in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, kneeled on the ground near a police roadblock. Two demonstrators who crossed the police line were arrested.
