As a follow-up to my post on 9/17/05 headlined CNN Reporter Exposes Himself At Airport Gets Arrested, The Lunch Counter has a little more to add to the story. According to sources at the Pensacola Regional Airport, the CNN employee was not a reporter as was described by the ABC affiliate WEAR-TV, but is a producer. The alleged 'arrest' amounted to being hauled off to a side room for chastising and a slap on the wrist.
According to a Transportation Security Administration source, the air traveler was stopped to have his belt buckle examined, a routine item to check under certain circumstances. One can only guess why the CNN producer also felt the need to drop his pants at the security checkpoint. He was wearing underwear. With no public arrest record to refer to, the CNN employee's identity is not known. What this all means is dubious at best. Was it his contempt for the administration or the people of Pensacola (a conservative bastion in Florida), or is he just a pervert?
Though no formal arrest had been made, sources say he got a taste of what being a wise guy in an airport can do for you, and feel that he probably won't be doing stunts like that again.

Ed McNamara of Protest Warriors in Chicago has great photos of last night's demonstration and counter-demonstration at Walter Reed Hospital. A bunch of anti-war demonstrators showed up to protest against wounded soldiers being taken to the hospital; pro-military counter-demonstrators outnumbered them, however, and the anti-military protesters dwindled away as the night went on. I'd guess the returning suldiers were glad to see this contingent:

I traveled to D.C. from Chicago this weekend as a member of the Defend the White House rally organizers. I'll be uploading pics and observations over the weekend. Tonight I posted pics of a counter-demonstration outside Walter Reed. Saturday we have a permit for a space at the Navy Memorial (the location a few years back of black-block anarchists rushing past police and raising their own Anarchist flag on the memorial flag pole). Sunday is a very large pro-war event sponsered by family members of servicemen and women, who want to let the world know that Cindy Sheehan does not speak for them.
Keep checking Ed's site through the weekend. [Power Line]

Michelle Malkin's visit to the anti-Bush/War rally, complete with pictures. Nice job!
A DAY AMONG THE MOONBATS. I spent the afternoon at Sheehanapalooza in D.C. under overcast skies, in a haze of hemp-scented paranoia, steeped with fetid Bush hatred. Am uploading a bunch of photos of moonbats in action at my Flickr site. Here's a sample: The... [Michelle Malkin]
