U.S. Capitol Police arrested 10 war protesters who began shouting in the Senate gallery.
The protesters were quickly hustled into a hallway and out of the view of reporters. They had chanted, “The war is immoral! Stop funding the war!” -- as police officers grabbed them and removed them from a visitors gallery overlooking the Senate floor.
The demonstrators wore gauze shrouds over their heads and black shirts that read, “We will not be silent.”
One member said they represented the National Campaign for Nonviolent Resistance.
