The veterans were turned back by police, several were arrested including IVAW member Nick Morgan who was trampled by a police horse. Nick suffered a broken cheekbone.
IVAW members had contacted debate moderator Bob Schieffer in advance, but received no reply. On October 23rd, a debate of third party candidates Ralph Nader and Chuck Baldwin was held, moderated by journalist Chris Hedges. Hedges decided to include a question from Nick Morgan in the debate, which was held while Nick was undergoing reconstructive surgery for the injuries he suffered outside the October 15th debate.
Nick's question is highlighted in the video posted here - to see the whole debate,
