    some interesting reading ... do you think they expect the number of protests to be as high as that? Or as violent? Or do you think its hyped up?


    "New York officials have said they expect hundreds of thousands of people to stage demonstrations around the convention, which begins Aug. 30.

    Concern over the convention comes amid heightened security across New York over fears that foreign terrorists might strike the city again. New York remains on a ''high'' terrorism alert level, while most of the country is on elevated alert.

    Federal investigators have infiltrated some organizations and are monitoring plans for protests being published on the Internet. The FBI also interviewed some protesters around the country before last month's Democratic convention in Boston and in anticipation of the GOP convention."
