WASHINGTON -- At Cindy Sheehan's side since Aug. 6 when she began her antiwar protest outside President Bush's Texas ranch have been three groups that openly support the Iraqi insurgency against U.S. troops: Code Pink-Women For Peace, United for Peace & Justice, and Veterans For Peace.
Those organizations were represented at a mock "war crimes" trial in Istanbul that on June 27 produced a joint declaration backing the insurgency. Based on the United Nations Charter, it said "the popular national resistance to the occupation is legitimate and justified. It deserves the support of people everywhere who care for justice and freedom."
The Istanbul statement also rejected U.S. efforts to leave behind a democratic government in Iraq, asserting: "Any law or institution created under the aegis of occupation is devoid of both legal and moral authority."
CINDY'S FRIEND COLEEN
Minnesota Republican leaders could not stop smiling when they learned that former FBI whistleblower Coleen Rowley, running for Congress as a Democrat, was joining war protester Cindy Sheehan's demonstration.
Republicans were silent but delighted that Rowley would align with extreme antiwar demonstrators backing Sheehan. Rowley became a national hero when she revealed that her warnings about Sept. 11 terrorists were disregarded within the FBI. Since announcing her candidacy against second-term Republican Rep. John Kline, she has become an intense war critic.
Rowley was accompanied to Texas by Democratic State Sen. Becky Lourey, whose son was killed in Iraq. Like Sheehan, Lourey opposed the war before she lost her son.

Hey, check out the d***head cartoon in Post 36.
As far as I'm concerned, Cindy Sheehan's return to her mother's side shows she has some decency. Let's hope her decent streak continues by her not returning to Crawford to dance on her son's grave.
Does she not even know how to fit for shoes?
You're right! Those sandals do look very teeny tiny. A perfect Michael Moore fit. Now what was that an indication of? Teeny tiny feet means a teeny tiny..........LOL
"Baghdad" Barbara lives in Moron (Marin) County California, one of the wealthiest (and leftist) areas in America. Not only is the kook anti-American crowd her constituency, she lives among them.
Yep. Saw Rowley on the tube the other day. She did not impress me as the sharpest tool in the shed.
Sure did. I was underwhelmed by her.
Yes he did.

Unfortunately I live in one of the socialist cabals of ca myself so I understand. Actually, I just realized, I'm an insurgent!
and between the ears....the sound of crickets.
You're right, doesn't have a word about pickup trucks or trains, or gettin' drunk... :o)
Freepmail.
Speaking of Sheehan.. Where'd Will Pitt disappear off to? He lasted a whole 2 days, and hasn't been seen since really.
So, what were the Rats saying about conspiracy? Everytime they accuse the GOP of doing something wrong, they're just projecting – in fact, the truth is always the opposite... they're so predictable.
