Anti-war protesters in front of White House, Washington DC, December 16, 2010華盛頓首都白宮門前的反戰示威者，2010年12月16日
Some 135 anti-war protesters have been arrested in front of the White House in one of the largest mass detentions in the United States.
約135名反戰示威者已在白宮門前被拘捕，在美國最大的一所大規模拘留營。
A Missouri-based veterans group organized the protesters, who marched up to the White House gates on Thursday and refused to disperse.
一個密蘇里州的退伍軍人團體組織示威者，週四遊行到白宮閘前和不肯散去。
Among those arrested was a famous whistleblower of the Vietnam-era war, Daniel Ellsberg, who leaked the Pentagon Papers as an act of protest in 1971.
被捕人士當中有著名的越戰時期的告密者丹尼爾埃爾斯伯格，他在1971年洩露五角大樓文件作為抗議的行動。
Although the arrests were appropriately peaceful, some protesters went limp, forcing police to carry them to the loaned Metrobuses waiting to take them to a booking facility. A protester attached himself to the gate with a bicycle lock.
雖然逮捕是適當地和平，一些示威者變跛，迫使警方携他們往租借的、等著載他們到一預訂設施的都市巴士。一名示威者以自行車鎖將自己附在大閘。
All were charged with failure to obey lawful order, a misdemeanor, said Park Police spokesman David Schlosser.
所有人被控未能服從合法命令、行為不端，公園警察發言人大衛施洛塞爾說。
Schlosser said the protesters would be released after either forfeiting USD 100 or accepting an assigned court date.
A new poll shows that a substantial majority of Americans agree with the protesters on some main issues.
The protests on Thursday coincided with the White House's release of its annual report on the US military presence in Afghanistan.
US President Barack Obama claimed that the US made some progress against the Taliban and al-Qaeda, but strategic positioning is unsustainable as the Taliban have increased attacks in the west and other areas.
"We will never waiver from our goal of disrupting and dismantling and ultimately defeating the al-Qaeda," President Obama said.
"We will continue to do everything in our power to ensure the security and safety of the American people," Obama added.
