Didn't the Park Service stop making estimates after the Million-Man-March when they were criticised for their low estimate? From that incident, I understand that estimates of crowd size are very difficult.

Great article. Next time will you just go to Iraq and get an exact head count for me? I need to know the exact number of Islamofascist, America haters there really are.

Perhaps "Anonymous" can move to Iraq permanently, since his or her president and John McCain have suck-ceeded so grandly in providing such a safe haven for democracy and freedom there. He or she can then take their own photos to prove just how wrong The NY Times on down to Mother Jones, et al, must be. And, perhaps Anonymous should tread carefully, because some people might assume that someone unwilling to sign their name to a post is about as brave as Karl Rove or any other silk-tied little chicken-shit corporate whore bastard who would call Max Cleland and Ron Kovic, cowards and unpatriotic.

Richard Aberdeen,
Amen and wll said, my anger at what these nitwits like Anonymous say and are doing to America is the same as your anger. And let's not forget the slime job they did on Kerry and McCain in 2000.
And let's not forget the slime job the pope did on Kerry as he also meddled in our 2004 elections.
I AM, the last catholic in America that is still fighting for our shredded Constitution and our democraitc values and institutions.
Scalia, a stasunch catholic said in a public sopeech that he was calling for the end of the rule of law and the end of democracy in America; and this piece of scum is a member of the SCOTUS. I really think all catholics on the SCOTUS should be removed. Catholicism is at war with America and democracy.
I stopped voting for all republican catholics when the pope and the catholic voters gave us Reagan, the sleepy-dopey prez.
No more republican catholic pols or America will become a third rate country run by the pope and the wealthy, just like Mexico.
