This is a "Freedom Walk"?

The Carpetbagger Report notes that if you want to join the chickenhawk wingnuts in goosestepping around Washington DC to "celebrate" the anniversary of the 9/11 attacks in Don Rumsfeld's Leni Riefenstahl-esque "Freedom Walk", you'll have to pass muster with the Feds:

Participants are encouraged to arrive at the Pentagon South parking lot between 7 a.m. and 8 a.m. for screening to avoid long lines. The first 1,000 to arrive for screening at the Pentagon on September 11, will receive the official America Supports You campaign lapel pin.

As the Report notes:

That's right, in order to participate in a government-sponsored "Freedom Walk" on public streets past public monuments, from one outdoor public landmark to another, you have to give your name address, phone number, and email address to the Pentagon.

By contrast, if you want to join Cindy Sheehan's vigil, or march against the war, or march with the TRUE defenders of American freedom, all you have to do is show up.
