An emailer makes an interesting point good point: "How can WJLA, WTOP, and Channel 8 stay on as Freedom Walk sponsors now that the Post has pulled out? The Post's action make clear that journalists can't be supporting this. Who is next to walk, so to speak?"

The Post itself has a pro and a con letter to the editor too: "Regardless of our views on the Iraq war, we owe a debt of honor to those who risk their lives for us and to their families back home. I hope supporters and opponents of the war will reflect on this moment and join those honoring so many brave Americans with the "united we stand" spirit while we continue to debate our war policy," one reader writes.
