RENO, Nev. (AP) - A group of anti-war protesters gathered Saturday in Reno to demand that Congress pursue the impeachment of President Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney, saying the two must be held accountable for their actions regarding the war in Iraq.
About 50 activists waved placards and heard speeches during the two-hour rally outside the federal courthouse. The protest followed Democratic Rep. Dennis Kucinich's introduction Tuesday of articles of impeachment against Cheney.
Organizer Rich Haber of the pro-impeachment group A28 said it was among more than 100 such "impeachment actions" held nationwide Saturday.
He urged House Speaker Nancy Pelosi to reconsider her opposition to impeachment, and accused Cheney and Bush of manipulating the intelligence process to drum up support for the invasion of Iraq.
