It will be interesting to see how this is covered later today in the MSM (mainstream media). I found two very important words in this article; planned peaceful -- will anyone in the MSM actually reflect on these words... What do these words mean? Considering some US protesters are anything but peaceful and with some organizers teaching ways to be arrested - to me, planned peaceful, is a sign of growing democracy...
BAGHDAD, Iraq - Thousands of supporters of rebel Shiite cleric Muqtada al-Sadr marched in Baghdad on Saturday to denounce the U.S. presence in Iraq and call for a speedy trial of Saddam Hussein on the second anniversary of the former dictator's overthrow.
Chanting “No, no to the occupiers”, thousands of young and old men gathered in the poor Shiite district of Sadr City to begin a planned peaceful march to Firdos Square, the central Baghdad spot where Saddam’s statue was torn down two years ago.
