About 10,000 opposition protesters chanted ``Freedom!'' and carried pictures of President Bush as they marched across Azerbaijan's capital Saturday, urging the government of this U.S. ally to step down and allow free parliamentary elections this year.

Well, I heard nothing of this on the news today. If they were carrying pictures of OBL, this would make the news.

Now if they were torching cars and burning pictures of Bush, this would be on ALL THE NEWS, ALL THE TIME.

No protest babes, though. Not a hopeful sign.
