Certainly a rather extreme way of protesting, but note how the only videotape of the even was confiscated by the Secret Service. Why? Seems like they're depriving not only the tourists that did the taping from earning a fat monetary reward from the news services, but they also keep the protester from reaching his intended "audience".

Interesting how the Associated Press was able to obtain still photos...why did the SS fail to confiscate these?

So, the SS doused the flames with a fire extinguisher and sent the man to the hospital. Wonder what crime he'll be charged with...and will he do time in a regular jail or a mental institution? Your tax dollars are work...

More later...
