Daniel Ellsberg Busted at Manning Protest
More than 100 anti-war protesters, including the man who leaked the Pentagon Papers, were arrested outside the White House in demonstrations marking the eighth anniversary of the U.S.-led war in Iraq.
The protesters, some shouting anti-war slogans and singing ``We Shall Not Be Moved,'' were arrested Saturday after ignoring orders to move away from the gates of the White House.
