The AP low balls protest numbers

From the AP:

Several protesters carried flag-draped, coffin-shaped boxes through the streets, meant to draw attention to the U.S. death toll in Iraq.

Does this look like several?

They go on to say:

More than 100,000 demonstrators marched past a heavily fortified Republican convention hall on Sunday, chanting denunciations of the administration and the war in Iraq as delegates flocked to the city to nominate President Bush for four more years in the White House.

While the New York Times has this for a headline:

Hundreds of Thousands Join Protests in N.Y.
