It certainly wasn't necessary to inflate the numbers beyond reason. We should be quite impressed that 75,000 showed up. Organizers and police officials acknowledged the crowds were larger than they had anticipated. According to the WashPost, the police put the number at about 75,000. IndyMedia says 75,000-100,000. That's a huge turnout without inflating the numbers! - Tom
