The far-left ANSWER coalition — a group that has drawn thousands of anti-war protesters to Washington in the past — mustered about 10 demonstrators Saturday outside the National Building Museum, site of the G-20 economic summit. Other G-20 protests drew larger crowds but, ironically, the largest protests Saturday weren't about ending global capitalism at all. About 300 demonstrators supporting Tibetan independence marched outside the summit, and were joined by a smaller group from the spiritual movement Falun Gong in protesting Chinese human rights policies.
