Narrative:
We were cleared into position and hold for traffic crossing downfield. We watched a couple of S80's and several rj's cross. We watched as the last rj crossed down at taxiway Y. Approximately 10 seconds after he was clear, dfw tower cleared us for takeoff 'aircraft X, dfw tower, wind XXX degrees at xx KTS, gusting to xx KTS, heading 345 degrees, runway 36R, cleared for takeoff.' first officer read back the clearance verbatim except for the heading. I said 'heading 345 degrees' and first officer radioed 'heading 345 degrees.' the runway was still clear and no aircraft appeared to be approaching the runway. I know tower had not cleared any aircraft to cross. At approximately 10 KTS below F1, I spotted a B767 encroaching on our runway at about taxiway Y or taxiway Z. I reported that three was an aircraft crossing our runway as I was rotating. Someone on the air responded, 'that's not good.' we were airborne about taxiway wl.
