I'm watching CNN (3:42 p.m. EST) and Blitzer is showing footage from Argentina, where it appears a violent protest has broken out in Summit City over the Summit of the Americas. It looks pretty big, CNN is saying "thousands" are involved.
Are any other networks covering this?

MAR DEL PLATA, Argentina (CNN) -- Expectations of a face-off between President Bush and Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez crackled Friday as the fourth Summit of the Americas opened at this resort city.
While Bush met with leaders of Central American and Andean countries, Chavez led thousands of protesters in a rally against Bush's policies at an outdoor stadium.
The demonstrators called Bush a "fascist" and a "terrorist," while Chavez condemned what he called U.S. imperialism.
At one of a pair of news conferences, Bush said he viewed his participation in the summit as an "opportunity to positively affirm our belief in democracy and human rights and human dignity."
Bush said he was gratified by his meetings with leaders of several Central American countries, which he described as "young democracies" eager to implement a free trade agreement.
The Central America Free Trade Agreement was narrowly approved by Congress in July after a intense push by the White House.
Opposition to free trade and the war in Iraq fueled the protests.
Early in the day, thousands of protesters had welcomed a train bringing a group of fellow demonstrators from Buenos Aires -- including Bolivian presidential hopeful Evo Morales and Argentinian soccer legend Diego Maradona.
Chanting "Fascist Bush! You are the terrorist!" the protesters massed along the sides of the train, trying to shake hands with those inside.
According to CNN, a group called the "Picateros" is responsible for these violent riots. Earlier, it seemed as if these protests were relatively peaceful.
