Mein Gott im Himmel.

3. The Clear Channel Spin

Not that I listen too often, just to catch the news and weather, but ABC news radio on Clear Channel reported thousands protested, not hundreds of thousands that appear to be adding up to millions!!

9. ok, it's dupe...

10. No, not really a dupe.

We are getting a lot more accurate numbers from foreign newspapers like Der Stern.

Guess I expect too much from U. S. news. When they cut the numbers in half, even on foreign countries where they have no correspondents, and rely on AP(ick) and other slanted outlets...

11. I think it's dupe

NEW YORK (Reuters) - More than a million antiwar protesters poured into the streets of cities around the globe on Saturday's anniversary of the invasion of Iraq to demand the withdrawal of U.S.-led troops.

From Sydney to Tokyo, from Santiago, Chile, to Madrid, London, New York and San Francisco, demonstrators condemned U.S. policy in Iraq and said they did not believe Iraqis are better off or the world safer because of the war.

Journalists estimated that at least a million people streamed through Rome, in probably the biggest single protest.

In London, two anti-war protesters evaded security to climb the landmark Big Ben clock tower at the Houses of Parliament, unfurling a banner reading "Time for Truth."

CHICAGO - War protesters carrying banners, shouting slogans and pounding drums gathered on Michigan Avenue on Saturday before marching through downtown to mark the anniversary of the U.S.-led invasion of Iraq.

Thousands of demonstrators called for U.S. troops to leave Iraq before walking two miles to Federal Plaza.

Addressing the crowd before the march, the Rev. Jesse Jackson told the demonstrators to express their opposition to the war by voting against President Bush in this year's general election.

"We are a great nation," Jackson said. "It's time to fight back: Remember in November."
