BUENOS AIRES, Argentina, Aug 6 (Reuters) - Protesters burned a photo of U.S. Treasury Secretary Paul O'Neill shortly after his arrival in Argentina on Tuesday evening as thousands of others marched from Congress to the presidential palace.

O'Neill is touring Brazil, Uruguay and Argentina to meet with government and business officials to discuss what to do about long recessions and economic turbulence that has stricken the region as investors hope for new details on foreign aid.

Damn, we should have burned some Cheney photos . . . .
