those protests

NY1 is reporting the anti-war demonstration that I photographed and blogged earlier today:

Thousands Of Anti-War Protesters Rally In Union Square
Organizers say tens of thousands of people marched from Union Square to Foley Square in Manhattan this afternoon to demand an end to the war in Iraq, and to call on the Bush administration to bring the troops safely home.

I’m no expert at estimating crowds, but it was a sizable number of people, especially for a gloomy, rainy Saturday.
