The Chicago Sun-Times reports that about 50 protesters -- including representatives from Code Pink Women For Peace, Veterans For Peace and other groups -- demonstrated outside the Prudential Plaza beginning at noon Thursday before marching to the nearby Canadian, British and German consulates. The group, estimated by CBS Chicago to number 150 participants, was demanding that the war in Afghanistan, as well as drone strikes both there and in Pakistan, come to an end.
