No doubt that, if you're not a registered Republican, displaying any non-compliant signage, or you refuse to endorse President Bush in writing, you'll be labeled a "security risk" and refused access to the proceedings.
What's sadder is that the MSM doesn't discuss the evident fact that the perpetrators of 9/11 and the leader of Iraq had no relationship whatsoever. This march is propaganda insofar as it tries to further establish this false connection in voters' minds, in preparation for elections in 2006 and 2008.

Oh, I get it, a walk to commemorate our *lost* freedom since Bush has been in power! Wonderful idea! Are there any more freedoms we can give up so we may commemorate their loss?

Supported by Lockheed Martin, nice to see they care about your servicemen.
Honouring the victims of 9/11 as well as the servicemen is such a thinly veiled attempt at tying the current situation in with 9/11. Pathetic really.

I stupidly trusted the auto link search thing, having had lots of post attempts foiled that way. I don't know what else to say other than, "My bad."

This is only the second revision of the web page. The first sounded a little too celebratory and telegraphed plans to use the DoD dollars to promote this next year as a 50 state project.
