I think REUTERS Photos of the protest are being blocked or Hacked
I'm having trouble viewing the Photos on REUTERS website. Here's one I was able to get around the "trouble." Please save a local copy, so if this shot vanishes from their website, several will have it.

A large rally of anti-war demonstrators gathers on the Ellipse near the White House (top) as seen from the top of the Washington Monument in Washington D.C. September 24, 2005. Tens of thousands of protesters gathered in the nation's capital in support of anti-war protestor Cindy Sheehan, who lost a son serving in the U.S. armed forces in Iraq, and demonstrated for the withdrawal of U.S. troops and an end to the war in Iraq.

Here's the article that has photos with it, but the Photo won't download. Maybe it's just my computer, but I've rarely had this trouble at REUTERS? Let me know if you have (or don't have) trouble too:

1. Wow
This photo needs to be sent to the media outlets repeatedly, no matter how unreliable they are.

6. Okay, I saw it, but I'm still disappointed that the headcount is
overlooked.

But that Reuters pic is sensational!

13. Their are quite a few more, but they are scattered though out the...
...Gallery pages. Here's a few more. <http://photos.reuters.com/Pictures/NewsGallery.aspx?type=News¤tPage=9>
Note:You should probably put the Photo "By line" with the photos so that DU doesn't get into legal troubles.

A lone red rose extends from the boots of an unidentified U.S. soldier killed in Iraq, at a makeshift memorial with the Washington Monument in the background at 'Camp Casey,' set up as part of anti-war protests in Washington September 24, 2005. Thousands of anti-war and anti-globalization protesters were poised to assemble to kick off a weekend of demonstrations against the Iraq war.

4. They cannot erase this live feed
They'd have to storm a (believe it or not) gannett station to do it.

Watch the concert, it is fantastic.... http://www.wusatv9.com/

7. the first link works for me, but not the second.
at the first link, I saw lots of protest photos, but you have to go to page 2 or 3 and then keep going. Actually some nice pics.

11. I went back up to the home page and found it
at:

http://today.reuters.com/news/newsArticle.aspx?type=topNews&storyID=2005-09-24T211858Z_01_WRI465220_RTRUKOC_0_US-IRAQ-PROTESTS.xml

They show several pictures with the story but, of course, not the most impressive one that shows the massive amount of people that were there.

15. O.K. Now the Photos at the link you provided are working. I think...
...it might have been because the article was being updated, it's 3 pages now instead of 2.

18. We are far, far from Socialism in this country -- no "danger" of that.
You simultaneously say the secret plan is to turn Russia and China against us, yet you think we should back out of the United Nations.

There will never be a "World Government," and fear of that is no justification for failing to think globally, imho. People of different nations, of different religious beliefs, etc. need to cooperate with each other in peace. In my view, superstitions about impending "World Government" and evil Socialism foster fear and isolation -- and those don't help the people or our planet.

17. Here's a new article from the BBC News that just popped up
<http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/4278960.stm>

Saturday, 24 September 2005, 21:03 GMT 22:03 UK

Anti-war rally held in Washington


Thousands of anti-war protesters are marching in Washington to demand the withdrawal of US troops from Iraq.

Organisers said they were expecting 100,000 to turn out for the 11-hour rally, march and concert near the White House and Washington Monument. Opinion polls show a majority in the US believe the war in Iraq is going badly and US troops should be brought home.

A few hundred supporters of President Bush's policy in Iraq also gathered in Washington for a counter protest. Anti-war rallies were also being held in other cities across the US as well as in London, Paris and Rome but in many cases the numbers were down on protests in previous years.

Demonstrators travelled from far and wide for what organisers said was the largest rally in Washington since the start of the war. They carried banners reading "Bring the Troops Home Now" and "Bush Lied, Thousands Died." "We have to get involved," said Erika McCroskey, 27, who travelled from Des Moines in Iowa with her mother and sister, to take part in her first demonstration.
