“The figures in Fremont’s ‘Waiting for the Interurban’ sculpture were hooded yesterday, a reference to the recent prison-abuse photos from the war in Iraq.

A witness said the hoods were placed on the statues around noon. A chair next to the sculpture was also wired with jumper cables to look like an implement of torture, and a sign was duct-taped to a statue’s leg announcing weekly peace vigils at Green Lake.” — Seattle Post-Intelligencer
