My wife just called - she's a prosecutor here in downtown Chi-town. Police in riot gear and WTO protestors filling the streets. Gov't offices shut down at 3:30 p.m. and she is being FORCED to leave the building. Catch it on your evening news.

Whats going on? I wasn't aware of any big WTO things this week. Did some protestors get rowdy? or was there a threat of some kind? Damn I have to go to History class

There was a meeting between world business leaders and diplomats. Related to WTO - but I don't think the name WTO was stamped on it. If you've seen these things up close, though, it's a fraternity (international conferences related to treaties that is, not a fraternity of "rich bad guys" or anything like that), with the same folks generally showing up.
