Protests Against U.S. Foreign Policy, Austerity Continue at G8 Summit 
----------------------------------------------------------------------


 
Protests are continuing outside the G8 summit with thousands gathering
to voice their opposition to U.S. foreign policy, environmental
devastation and global austerity. The Guardian reports Britain has spent
some $78 million on security for the G8 with thousands of police on
hand, but so far protests have been peaceful, and only two people have
been arrested at the summit.
