U.S. Moves Troops from Iraq to Protect Protestors
by Scott Ott

(2005-03-20) -- The Pentagon today announced it will redeploy some troops currently stationed in Iraq to protect anti-war protestors in North Carolina.

The troop movement comes in the wake of Saturday's protest march near Fort Bragg which drew a crowd of 3,000 who chanted and listened to speeches decrying the presence of U.S. forces in Iraq.

"Democracy in America is a fragile thing," said an unnamed Pentagon spokesman. "We need to do what we can to protect the emerging free speech represented by these anti-government protestors."

The redeployment will involve a contingent of two unarmed U.S. Marines who will be stationed near future protestors to ensure their freedom.
