Anti-war billboard raises hackles
Passers-by in New York's Times Square are confronted by billboard after billboard advertising everything from perfume and chewing gum to pills that control weight.

But it seems that a billboard opposing the war in Iraq may a bit much for certain people.

A group of anti-war activists, Project Billboard, is accusing one of the largest US media companies, with close ties to the Republican Party, of preventing the group from displaying a billboard critical of the war on space that it owns on the square.

A spokesman said Project Billboard was to file a lawsuit last night charging Clear Channel with breach of contract and asking it to live up to what it said were the terms of the billboard deal.
