Anyone seen the Monday DI? It is splattered with pictures and quotes of 
Pro-war folks and the claim that the pro-war people had 400 people TWICE as 
many as us (they say 400 PRO and 200 ANTI in the article). I think we need to 
force a retraction. At the very least they should admit that the reporter Mary 
Tallon is incorrect in her assessment and they should recognize that the 
Pro-War folks start earlier which can (as our protest gains momentum after 
2pm) make our numbers look emaciated. This is journalism?
I think what is most disgusting is the insinuation that Pro-War support is 
soaring (much like the fabled Bush Poll Numbers) while anti-war support is in 
decline.
