AIDS activists hold up banners calling U.S. President George W. Bush a puppet of U.S. drug companies, as Irish singer Bono (foreground) prepares to make a statement at a Senate Appropriations hearing on AIDS programs and research on Capitol Hill, in Washington May 18, 2004. Several protestors calling for more global availability of generic AIDS medicines disrupted the hearing and were ejected as the U.S.'s global AIDS coordinator Randall Tobias made remarks.
