Delegates Give Some Protesters Credentials

NEW YORK - Protesters have used legitimate credentials, often obtained from delegates, to get into Madison Square Garden for the Republican National Convention, a law enforcement official said Thursday.

"A lot of delegates are just handing them out, and the event people are giving a bunch to different groups," said the official, speaking on condition of anonymity.

Credentials given to delegates were handled by the Republican National Committee. State delegations are got guest passes.

Messages left with RNC officials were not immediately returned.

1. Would you say there are delegates there that really

don't mind having the protestors come into the convention? Sounds to me there are those who don't like the chimp....

5. From the rest of the article, here's one answer, but notice the "few"

"The law enforcement official said a few protesters entered the arena with guest passes obtained through media organizations"
