Thousands Protest Iran Nuke Deal in Times Square
(New York Post) Dana Sauchelli, Frank Rosario and Bruce Golding - Thousands of protesters flooded Times Square Wednesday to rally against the Iran nuclear arms deal. Organizers of the "Stop Iran Now" rally estimated the crowd, which filled the blocks between 42nd and 38th streets, at 12,000. Speakers in Times Square included former Manhattan District Attorney Robert Morgenthau, who said opposing the pact "is not only a strategic issue but a moral one. In the face of Iranian threats, does this agreement make us and our allies safer? I believe it does not." Defense attorney and Harvard law professor Alan Dershowitz called the rally a "great display of democracy in action."
