[Iran Press TV] Police in the Midwest US city of Chicago have attacked anti-NATO...the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. It's headquartered in Belgium. That sez it all.... protesters as a two-day summit of the Western military alliance kicks off. The 25th NATO summit began on Sunday while thousands of demonstrators protesting against the Western wars in Afghanistan and elsewhere marched through downtown Chicago. Some of the protesters called for the dissolution of the 63-year-old military alliance while others carried placards and posters reading "War (equals) Debt" and "NATO, Go Home." The summit opened with the slogan of peace and a minute of silence for all those who have been killed in NATO's military operations around the world. Heads of NATO's 28 member states are attending the summit, which generally features more than 50 world leaders who have been invited for the event. Police have tossed in the slammer You have the right to remain silent... 14 anti-war activists since last week to quell the protests.
