dressed in black who began the looting and pillaging, although some reports say that they were 'anarchists'. If someone knows otherwise, please post the info.

It is not unheard of for agitators to plant themselves into a protest for the purpose of agitating a nonviolent action into a violent one, and thereby destroying the credibility of the organizers. I hope that has not happened here, because the WTO leadership had actually invited some of the protesters to meetings during the sessions.
