White House - AP

WASHINGTON - "Anti-war protesters, including some who carried coffin-like cardboard boxes to signify the deaths of U.S. troops in Iraq (news - web sites), descended on the capital Thursday. Some of their chants could be heard as President Bush (news - web sites) delivered his inaugural address.

The chants came toward the end of Bush's speech, and the president continued his address without interruption or any sign that he heard them.

On Capitol Hill, some protesters were briefly detained by police, and then released after Bush finished speaking, said Andrea Buffa, spokeswoman for CodePink: Women for Peace, a social justice peace movement."
