Protesters Barred From Cheney's West Point Speech

WHITE PLAINS - A federal appeals court on Friday denied an organization permission to stage an antiwar demonstration on Saturday on the grounds of the United States Military Academy at West Point, where Vice President Dick Cheney is to deliver the commencement address.

The court said the mere presence of the vice president does not turn West Point into a public forum and is not an "open invitation" to about 1,000 protesters who had hoped to march onto the campus.
