My point is that, as a group, especially our mouthpieces should be irrefutable. Don't lie or make up numbers to make it look stronger, or more poetic. The automatic doubling (in this case tripling) of the real count just makes the anti-war movement that much more unreliably "out there" for most people.

Yeah, when most people that weren't there (and most people were not there) rehash in front of the water cooler they should be talking about what happened proudly and loudly, not about the lies that came out of our side, but about the truth.

We have Truth and Ethics, WE are the Moral side here. We fight for Justice, Equality and Fairness. We fight for people we don't know half the world away, we fight for the cab driver neighbors next door. We fight because it's right. We fight because we must.

Let's not let excitement and verbosity for the sake of it, get in the way.
