BBC report of the March
It's a video report. Go to the main page and scroll down to "Video & Audio News". Can't find a way to copy a direct link - sorry

http://news.bbc.co.uk/default.stm

Here's the gist...

"...not quite the hundreds of thousands projected, but a sizeable contingent..."
'...Marchers calling not only to Bush to end the war but also demanding newly elected Democrats use the mandate they were given in November..."

3. at the last big march in DC
the crowd was probably 200,000 but they like to say it was smaller than it really was because MR cheney tells them to?
