What is wrong with this picture?

Pro-troop supporters descended on Crawford Texas. This article estimates around 1,000 supporters a noted by San Francisco's KGO radio, included several Gold Star families whose sons had been killed in Iraq. The AP story had this: "Several times the crowd of about 1,500 chanted, "Cindy, go home!"

Yet the news site linked at Drudge says "Meanwhile, a few dozen Bush supporters held signs from their small camp in a ditch across the street from Sheehan's original site, where most of the dozens of protesters have continued camping off the main road leading to Bush's ranch."

Excuse me? a few dozen and around 1000 are two very different numbers. What gives?
