Iraqis turn out for anti-terror rallies


CTV.ca - Thousands of Iraqis took to the streets Wednesday in boisterous, but peaceful rallies calling for the end of terrorism and the return of order to the war-torn country.

"These people for decades have never had a demonstration unless Saddam himself organized it."

But the protest, kept in check by U.S. military and Iraqi police, was far from pro-American.

"There was a lot of anti-Americanism in that crowd," LaFlamme said, noting that none of that anger turned into violence.

el - the posts the right-wing crowd are reading discount the anti-Americanism as a small group out of thousands. Both sides seem to be seeing what they want to see. The right-wing bloggers seem much more biased, however.
