[Seattle-editorial] FEATURE PROPOSAL: A12

[Susan]

approve.

* "Thousands" in first sentence should be lower-case.

* Are we sure about the number of days Jean Buskin spent in jail (this 
number seems different than what was announced at yesterday's rally)?

* Are we sure that the group holding "No more wars for Israel" signs are 
neo-Nazis? I've read on the newswire about the signs being created or 
funded by a neo-Nazi group, but how do we know who the sign-bearers are?

Thanks for putting this together!
