Anti-Saddam protestors very well hidden if they exist.

<...Most marchers want Mr Hussein to give up his deadliest weapons, to abide by the 17 UN resolutions passed on Iraq since 1991, and to stop terrorising the 22m Iraqi people.

That's all very well for the author to say, and it would be nice if it were true, but in all the extensive coverage of the marches to date, I still have not seen this attitude presented even once, either in the form of signs, interviews, or in any other form.

I can only go by what I see in the media, not having attended a march in person. I am aware that the absence of any protests critical of Saddam in the media could also mean that the media simply aren't relaying anti-Saddam opinions, or that photos of anti-Saddam signs and banners end up on the press room floors.

Either way, it's revealing.
