A FReeper questioned that photo:

One of the rules of perspective is that colors become less bright the more distant something is from you, it creates depth in photos or painted pictures. In this photo the colors of signs at the back of the crowd appear as bright as those at the front. Its a pretty obvious photo shop job.
Well .. there was supposed to be about 8,000 of them .. and that picture doesn't look out of proportion for that amount of people.
The other thing .. look at some of the flags .. there were so many of them, surely one of them would be caught in any attempt to fatten the group. I searched and searched the picture, but I couldn't find any.
Also .. on the weekend of the march - there were all sorts of pictures of this same group posted by the GOE .. and it still looks about the same size to me.
The more I hear of this woman, the more often I am inclined to read her column.
Keep it coming!
I like this lady, she says it like it is using plain old common sense.
Three to one? Wow! That gets bigger every time I read the story.
The appearance of the sergeant's sleeve has been altered in the Internet-circulated version to reflect the viewpoint that the U.S. military has shouldered a burden of global importance with little or no support from the countries (Russia, Germany, France) whose flags are pictured below the "DOING THE WORK OF" patch.
Well, this Judi McCloud is doing the work ALL U S "Journalists" SHOULD be doing!

We need more friends in Canada like this.
Now here is a photo that I took just moments before they go onto the bridge. Notice the woman with the white headband in the doctored photo. Then look at her in my photo. She is not located anywhere in the photo with the same people in the doctored photo. Also you can see how the crowd is not at big as a full on shot. I also want to point out in the doctored photo that behind the woman are people wearing neon vests for crowd control. These people were located at the FRONT of the protest, not in the middle. But in my photo they are no where to be found. I find it hard to believe that she ran all to the front of the protest as they crossed the bridge.
Also, Here is the quote from UPI
WAP20070317701 Thousands of protesters walk from the Lincoln Memorial towards the Pentagon to protest the the fourth anniversary of the start of the Iraq War, in Arlington, Virginia on March 17, 2007. This protest met at the starting point of the massive 1967 anti-Vietnam War march on the Pentagon. Photographer: ALEXIS C. GLENN Organization: Date and Time Recorded: Mar 17 2007 02:35PM Date of Publication: 03/17/2007 Country: USA State/Province: VA City: ARLINGTON Caption Writer: ACG
First of all, my pic was taken at 1:05 PM and theirs was at 2:25 PM. There is NO way that she went to the front of the parade and the parade took that long to cross the bridge. Second, if they were coming back from the Pentagon media sources showed that only about 1000 stayed to listen to the speakers while MOST of the protesters took the metro and did not cross back over the bridge. There is definatly something fishy about that photo.
