White House Moves G8 Meeting From Chicago to Camp David 
--------------------------------------------------------



The White House has moved the upcoming G8 meeting from Chicago to the
heavily guarded Camp David in Maryland. Chicago was preparing to hold
back-to-back meetings in May of the G8 and NATO. The NATO meeting is
still happening in Chicago as planned. Protest groups have been planning
large demonstrations to coincide with both meetings. Joe Iosbaker, head
of the United National Antiwar Committee in Chicago, described the
decision to move the G8 meeting to Camp David as a major victory. He
said: "The administration is taking G8 someplace where they won't have
to face the people who suffer under their policies."
