Indeed.in
the press room at the WTO meeting.these protesters were willing to
be
arrested decrying what they call corporate greed at the expense of
the environment.
Last night, hundreds of protesters surrounded the King County Jail for
five and a half hours. They finally dispersed when police agreed a team of attorneys could enter the building to counsel more than 500
jailed protesters.
This woman, calling herself Jane WTO says she's out of jail because
officials can't keep track of all the paperwork.

GIVING THE NAME JOHN OR JANE WTO.
There is an uneasy peace in Seattle now after protests turned
violent
Tuesday and Wednesday. Property damage is now estimated at
2-point-5
million dollars. City officials are still dodging criticism police
overstepped their bounds and abused some protesters. But

But at least they know what time it is. An anonymous bidder spent 11 million dollars last night to buy a pocket watch.
The watch is known as the Henry Graves Supercomplication by Patek Phillippe. It was made for a prominent New York banker in 1925.
It is the result of three years of study in astronomy, mathematics, and precision mechanics.
It has 900 individual parts including 430 screws, 110 wheels, 120 various movable parts and 70 jewels.
The 19-ounce watch is a little smaller than the palm of a hand.
