–- Several hundred New Yorkers gathered at Grand Army Plaza and then walked through crowded Brooklyn streets to protest the war in Iraq and their disappointment with New York Senator Charles Schumer, a supporter of the Bush policy. The solemn procession was led by a lone drummer and flutist and coffins draped with the American flag to symbolize the thousands who have died in an unnecessary war, initiated by the White House and backed by Senators Schumer and Clinton.
