28. Hey, they changed it! |

Here's the part of the article I copied and sent to them, asking them to correct the numbers:
5:35 p.m.
Nathan Diebenow reporting for The Iconoclast:
The pro-Bush counter-protestors left Houston at 5 a.m. and arrived at Crawford around 10 a.m. at Camp Casey. The event was organized by members of FreeRepublic.com.
Marine mother Gale Muskiet of Houston estimated that there were 400 in her group that lined up in support of Bush hoping to catch a glimpse of him as he drove on Prairie Chapel Road. The group left there reportedly after 12:30 p.m. for the parking lot of Pirate Field in Crawford. Many of the members of the group had to walk halfway because of traffic congestion.
At the counter-protest rally four Marine moms spoke in support of President Bush and the war on terrorism saying that the United States must stay the course and that their children chose to join the military of their own free will.
There was a member of the group that dressed up like the Statue of Liberty.
And Now, here's their updated version:
5:35 p.m.
Nathan Diebenow reporting for The Iconoclast: Several photos of today's event appear at the bottom of this section.

The 400 estimate has, however, been disputed by others present, who say that the number was considerably less than that.>
