Leading the parade of protesters, at the huge NYC rally, was presidential, anti-Iraq War candidate, Rep. Dennis J. Kucinich (D-OH). He said, "We've seen that there has been nothing but a trail of lies that led the United States into its involvement in Iraq. That Iraq had nothing to do with 9/11. That Iraq had nothing to do with Al Qaeda’s role in 9/11, and that it had nothing to do with the Anthrax attack upon this country."
