Anyone got news or pics of Washington IMF demo?

Heard on ITV news that "many thousands" were demoing in Washington today - quite an even sounding report with good pics of very full streets of people - even a little coverage of the issues and focus on the diversity - weird thing is that I've seen nothing here about it all. Was I dreaming? Anyone got any info on this?

I agree the coverage is rather strange. BBC have strong coverage of the protests as well. 100, 000 on Saturday in London was barely worth a mention though!

critical mass - cops seize bikes
the cops however knicked loads of peoples bikes at the fluffy and pretty small critical mass (pic) - they were heavy handed - detained about 100, arrested about 40

This was really disturbing as well:
Police 'Intelligence' Says Protestors and Reporters May be Dangerous
A new, internal D.C. police memo paints protestors and media producers alike as suspicious and potentially dangerous... warns of pipe bombs... and recommends that police should photograph people who are photographing, videotaping or taking notes around the protests:

BTW if you want pics to news stories a good start after indy is yahoo.com where you can search the reuters / AP picture wire.
