Massive AntiWar Protest In Washington Today

Thousands of protesters are gathering on the National Mall in Washington to urge the withdrawal of U.S. forces in Iraq.

Event organizers say Saturday's rally could draw hundreds of thousands of people. Civil rights leader Jesse Jackson and Hollywood actors Jane Fonda and Susan Sarandon are among those expected to address the crowd.

The protest will also include some active-duty military troops. One Navy sailor says he plans to speak at the protest on the National Mall. He's part of a group of active-duty personnel and veterans who favor a US troop pullout in Iraq.

The Pentagon says members of the Armed Forces can speak at such rallies, but they can't be in uniform and must make it clear they speak only for themselves, not the military.
