Protesters march against Iraq war

Thousands of demonstrators have been holding anti-war rallies as the anniversary of the US-led invasion of Iraq nears.

In Washington, thousands braved cold temperatures to march to the Pentagon carrying placards denouncing the war.

Tuesday marks four years since the war began. Tens of thousands of Iraqis have died as well as some 3,200 US troops. [snip]

Several thousand others, many members of the armed services, gathered in counter rallies in support of the war, playing "The Battle Hymn of the Republic".

The story spends 15 count em (15) paragraphs not to mention the headline gushing over the "thousands" of antiwar demonstrators while the counter demonstrators numbering in the "several thousands" garnered a grand total of one (1) paragraph, go figure.

Update: Michelle Malkin reports "Kit at Gathering of Eagles reports on the National Park Service estimate of the GoE turnout: 30,000 strong. The silent majority no more."
