I would much rather criticize PLP for weird politics and barking at people over megaphones than the route they took.

Too much is being made of this. Despite any pre-set plans, there wasn't much coherent leadership between various locations and compontents of the action that day. The people I spoke to afterwards who came down Clark, and there were quite a number of them, said they were just tired of standing around, felt they had a good action, and had no idea they were supposedly violating any consensus they never heard of or felt they were capitulating to anyone. They were just marching down a city street, shouting slogans and carrying banners, to join an antiwar rally. Could some groups have tried to make use of this to score points against others? Probably, but let's just not play that game. Enough monday morning quarterbacking on this one. We've more important things to talk about.
