Several hundred demonstrators marched down San Francisco's main Market Street and others gathered in front of the worldwide headquarters of Bechtel, the privately held engineering firm involved in Iraq reconstruction projects. A few people chained themselves together with plastic piping. Others played drums and sang. "Bechtel out of Iraq," read one sign. "Shut down the war profiteers," another sign declared. A police spokeswoman said those arrested were charged with blocking the street and refusing to move when requested. Liberal San Francisco has been a leading U.S. center of opposition to President Bush's decision to wage war against Iraq, and thousands were arrested a year ago in large demonstrations after the start of the conflict.
