Absolutely no way that they could be mistaken for 12,000 then? Sounds like the million moms. LOL!

.. some caller said that 12,000 peaceniks attended.

Obviously either the caller didn't attend or saw double. I estimate 500 at most!

The grandfather of a lost WTC victim was one of their guest speakers. He read a letter his daughter and son-in law sent to President Bush asking we refrain from seeking retaliation -- "Don't do it in the name of New York, or the name of our son'. This does not ease our pain; does not unify us", blah blah blah. He then lead the group in song to the melody was "Down By The Riverside". After hearing the first stanza ("Drop down your hands and swords, down by the riverside, down by the riverside") I left in disgust.

Dfu, surely you can do much better with that melody.
