Here's two links to blogs covering the big DC ruckus set for tomorrow, April 16th. The first is from the Monkeyfist folk, and I don't know who this second one is by, but they seem similarly aligned. You've got to love the anarchist soccer league challenging world bank and IMF leaders to a high stakes game of football.
Here's the first BBC coverage. They say 6 to 10 thousand protesters in the streets. IMF and world bank officials arrived quietly around 5 am, thus twarting the demonstrators main goal of not letting the meetings get underway. Still some issues about getting the delegates out, but really only in terms of how much force police will have to use to clear the area (not whether they'll be able to do it or not.)
You hear a lot about separation of church and state; I'd be satisfied with separation of state.
