Anti-war protesters arrested outside Clinton's office
WASHINGTON (CNN) -- U.S. Capitol Police arrested six women from the anti-war group "Code Pink" outside Sen. Hillary Clinton's office Tuesday who were calling on the New York Democrat to adopt a more aggressive anti-Iraq stance.
In addition to the six arrested, nearly 50 other members of the all-women's group stood outside Clinton's office to show their disproval with the Democratic presidential candidates' stances on the war. "The entire group then entered Clinton's office and effectively wove a web of pink yarn and ribbons to symbolize Clinton's web of lies," a statement from 'Code Pink,' said. Clinton, who originally voted to authorize the war in 2003, has come out against the proposed troop increase and advocated capping Iraq troop levels at their Jan. 1 levels. -- CNN Radio Correspondent Lisa Goddard |
