What happened with Rummy's party at the Pentagon today? |

I haven't seen anything about it. Was it a flop?

1. the press made out like it was about 10.000 people |
|
but the pictures showed a lot less. EVeryone wearing the same tee shirt. European press showed its distain, making sure its readers knew that the participants were pre-screened. Lots of folks appeared to be mad that Bushco tried to make the link between 9/11 and Iraq. I don't know how anyone could be that impressed.

16. All day Pentagon officials were tell the CNN Pentagon reporter |
|
that they were having a hard time. That people were feeling so sorry for the Katrina victims and not for them. It was pretty sad.

10. I flipped past CSPAN... |
|
...and caught a few minutes. No way were there 10,000. Someone here said that it was mostly employees of Lockheed Martin.
There were definitely 10,000 people in Utah to see the Dalai Lama.

Then again, pitiful would probably be a better word.
registration, searches, fences, media kept separate. Let freedom reign.

14. I bet this was a HUGE disaster. |

And at the very least, they could have given the poor march attendees a better musical act than Clint Black.
