Thousands Protest Saleh in Yemen 
---------------------------------



In Yemen, thousands of people are demonstrating against President Ali
Abdullah Saleh in the capital Sana'a today for the second time in less
than a week. The demonstrations appear to be the largest ever to
directly oppose Saleh's three-decade leadership. Like Mubarak, Saleh has
been a critical U.S. ally in the Middle East. Classified U.S. Department
of State cables released by Wiki Leaks show the United States and Saleh
have covered up the use of U.S. warplanes to bomb Yemen.
