Well, here's what the Associated Press is reporting:
Police no longer give official estimates but said privately that perhaps 10,000 to 20,000 anti-war demonstrators marched, with a smaller but still sizable number of counterprotesters also out in force. An hour into the three-hour Pentagon rally, with the temperature near freezing, protesters had peeled away to a point where fewer than 1,000 were left.

From Media Bistro yesterday, regarding the new press room for the white house press corpse:
CNN Gets A Front Row Seat
> Earlier: CNN & Fox Want Front Row Seats...
And the winner is: CNN.
"The White House Correspondents' Association met today to review plans for the renovated West Wing Briefing Room and the seating assignments," a memo said on Friday.
"As a board, we decided to move CNN to the first row. This decision was based on CNN's 27 years of covering The White House, as well as the resources it brings to the in-town and travel pool, and its daily presence at the briefings. In addition, the board agreed to honor a previous commitment by our association to maintain Helen Thomas' seat in the first row..."
Typical -- the board choses the liberal CNN over the balanced FNC, even though FNC is the number one cable network.
