Since March, the corner opposite the entrance to Walter Reed Army Medical Center has been occupied by protest groups including Code Pink, who use the corner to display protest messages against the war in Iraq toward the hospital where troops are recuperating after war injuries. Apparently, they forgot to renew their permit. The countering group Protest Warrior has bought them instead and now reside on all four corners of the entrance to Walter Reed.
Oops. Lesson to all: keep your protest permits current if you want to do something controversial on a regular basis, or someone else will snatch them up when you forget.
