I'm watching BBC News24 here which is transmitting live from the square outside the Palestine hotel. An Iraqi crowd are trying to pull down a huge statue of Saddam. Meanwhile a western anti-war protester (british?) has actually confronted the marines there. After an argument with a marine he was pulled back into a Humvee by other men from his units.
