News at Eleven: Tens of thousands of Mexicans on Sunday

flocked into Mexico City's main square to deplore President Felipe Calderon for failing to halt rampant bloodshed in his four-year-old campaign against organized crime groups.

Throngs listened to a grieving poet and writer, Javier Sicilia, decry "Calderon's absurd war" and lament tens of thousands of homicides, including that of his own son in late March.

Protesters carried signs saying "No more bloodshed" and "We have had it up to here."
