Just... not... getting... the concept
Tight constraints on Pentagon's Freedom Walk

Event remembering Saddam attacking us on 9/11 to be kept 'sterile,' limited to the preregistered.

Pentagon restricts participation in “Freedom” event.

Organizers of the Pentagon's 9/11 memorial Freedom Walk on Sunday are taking extraordinary measures to control participation in the march and concert, with the route fenced off and lined with police and the event closed to anyone who does not register online by 4:30 p.m. today.

One restricted group will be the media, whose members will not be allowed to walk along the march route.

The march, sponsored by the Department of Defense, will wend its way from the Pentagon to the Mall along a route that has not been specified but will be lined with four-foot-high snow fencing to keep it closed and "sterile," said Allison Barber, deputy assistant secretary of defense.
