You're right, sorry. Post #178 on that thread exerpted an interview where she gave an update on the other three kids and her husband.

It is hard to keep up with her....she is giving so many interviews, the term "spinning out of control" comes to mind.

Interesting. In May, her husband supported her work according to Cindy.

"Patrick Sheehan, Cindy Sheehan husband, supports his wife in her activism, he participates in some events and drives with Cindy when he is not working as a sales representative. He spoke about the toll this work is taking in the family. “If she is not away traveling or speaking, she is home with her laptop, watching news, or talking on the phone…This is important, we try to continue to support her.”

Now, he doesn't.

"I have lost almost every friend that I had before Casey died. My husband and I are separated, because he doesn't support my activities, although he knows the war is a lie."

I found Patrick's home number in Vacaville, CA. It may be worth giving him a call.

Here's the beginning of the Editor And Publisher from yesterday with hyper-links.

A year-old article in a small California newspaper suddenly became a hot media/blog story today, generating wildly different interpretations from supporters and detractors of the Iraq war. Monday afternoon, the newspaper posted a story on its Web site, along with its original story, which may only add fuel to the fire.

Here is that interview.

I just sent them the following email:

I would love for somebody to explain to me why donations are needed for this woman. This woman has abandoned her home in California and is camping out in Crawford, Texas. This woman got more than $260,000(at a minimum) last year when her son died.
This woman is spewing lies about the President of The United States of America. This woman praised our President a year ago and claims today that he was uncaring and callous. This woman has chosen to be like John F. Kerry and be a traitor to our great country.
In MANY countries, this woman at best would be serving a long prison sentence and at worst already have been executed. This woman is in serious need of psychiatric care. If you were to solicit donations for a one way ticket Iran, Syria or Yemen, you would likely get a lot of donations.
It's people like her son that have sacrificed so that vermin like her could do as she has done. This woman is a disgrace to the memory of her brave son who gave his all so she could continue to do as she has.
