Secretary Colin Powell canceled his trip to Greece for the close of the Olympic Games amid fears of anti-American demonstrations. On Saturday, activists hung a huge banner on the Acropolis hill that read, “Powell Killer Go Home.”

Meanwhile U.S. track legend Carl Lewis criticized George Bush this weekend for using Iraqi and Afghan Olympic teams in his campaign ads. Lewis, who won nine gold medals in his record- breaking career, said, “Of course, we’ve invaded Iraq and are in there and are using it for political gain. It bewilders me, and I understand why the Iraqi players are offended.”
