Protests expected

A letter to The Australian warns about protests when Obama visits Australia

GUANTANAMO Bay is still open, the US is about to deploy 30,000 additional troops to Afghanistan and during the past 12 months Barack Obama has authorised more lethal Predator drone strikes in Pakistan than did George W. Bush in the three years prior to that. So I guess that the authorities will be preparing for massive protests against President Obama, by anti-war protesters, when he visits here next month? Alternatively, pigs might fly. Richard Shankland, Pymble, NSW
