WASHINGTON - Two Nobel Peace Prize winners, two bishops and Vietnam War
activist Daniel Ellsberg were among those arrested near the White House in
antiwar protests Wednesday. More than 100 demonstrators in Florida denounced
President Bush (news - web sites) during his trip to the state.

Protesters in Washington climbed over police barricades closing off
Lafayette Park, across Pennsylvania Avenue from the White House, and sang
and prayed until they were arrested. Police said 65 people were taken into
custody. Protesters left behind some roses and pictures of Iraqi civilians
that they said represented those who could die in the war.

Those arrested included Nobel laureates Mairead Corrigan Maguire of the
Northern Ireland Peace Movement and Jody Williams of the International
Campaign to Ban Landmines, as well as Roman Catholic Auxiliary Bishop Thomas
Gumbleton of the Detroit archdiocese; Bishop C. Joseph Sprague of the United
Methodist Church in the Chicago area; Dave Robinson, national coordinator of
Pax Christi USA, the Catholic peace movement, and Ellsberg.
