Video of the Day: Anti-War Arrests on Wall Street

Yesterday, the police arrested 44 protesters who laid down in front of the New York Stock Exchange, and our videographer Kelly Loudenberg was on the scene. Over 100 people had gathered to block entrances - and draw attention to the companies that are making millions and billions off the war - but no trade was disturbed.

The War Resisters League told the AP that only five protesters remained in custody yesterday evening; they will appear before a judge today. Today is another trading day at the NYSE; it is also the first day of the fifth year that the U.S. is in Iraq.
