washington dc. veterans of several wars and generations protested the iraq war on its fifth anniversary. those in the distance were members of iraq veterans against the war. they had climbed the facade of the national archives and were reading their charges through a megaphone as hundreds of police arrived, seemingly uncertain what to do. the national archives houses the original copy of the united states constitution, and as the protest took place bus loads of tourists from all over america were arriving to view it. some arguments broke out as many of the tourists expressed support for the war. the upside down flag is a signal of distress recognized by the u s code of laws, and by the military. it has frequently been used in protests across the political spectrum, by war protesters and tea partiers alike.
