That was my son's unit. He was killed on that day 04/04/04. Here is a letter that I wrote to NightLine about the broadcast:

To Whom it May Concern:
Imagine my distress when I turned Night Line on last night and I was confronted with the gory details of my son's murder in Sadr City, Baghdad, Iraq on 04/04/04. Imagine, also, my sorrow and rage at the side of the story that you presented to the American public.
[SNIP]
I was on the Night Line Townhall Meeting in Washington, DC on 01/27/05. After I spoke (which I think was a fluke), Ted Koppel dismissed me as being "emotional." First of all, how can I approach this discussion without emotions, MY SON WAS KILLED, AND KILLED FOR LIES? Second of all, that show was not fair and balanced and I think the conclusion "Should we stay" was foregone.
The show last night was also not fair and balanced. To see all the wives being interviewed who had not lost their husbands and to hear what "hard work" it is to be left behind when their husbands are at war. How hard to you think it is to have a child killed in an illegal and immoral war? In this "wonderful" group of families left behind, we had exactly ONE of the wives call us..she is Diane Rose who was my son's Colonel, Frank Rose's wife. The last time we heard from Diane was in October and we feel we have been left behind by anyone connected to the 2-5 Cavalry. Is support only given if your loved one stays alive? One wife was quoted as saying that Sundays were the hardest for the families left behind. My son was killed on Palm Sunday last year..how does anybody think Sundays are for my family?
Am I emotional? Yes, my first born was murdered. Am I angry? Yes, he was killed for lies and for a PNAC Neo-Con agenda to benefit Israel. My son joined the Army to protect America, not Israel. Am I stupid? No, I know full-well that my son, my family, this nation, and this world were betrayed by a George Bush who was influenced by the neo-con PNAC agenda after 9/11. We were told that we were attacked on 9/11 because the terrorists hate our freedoms and democracy...not for the real reason, becuase the Arab-Muslims who attacked us hate our middle-eastern foreign policy. That hasn't changed since America invaded and occupied Iraq...in fact it has gotten worse.
It would be so amazing if your show would put me, or another parent who lost their child on who disagrees with the war and this administration: to have just an entire show..without presenting the false side of the debate. That would take a lot of courage and integrity. I hope your program will exhibit these qualities.
I also think that Mr. Koppel owes me an apology for the rude way I was treated on his show. After I expressed myself about the war being based on lies and that the troops should be brought home immediately because the war was based on lies, I was not thanked for my comments, or my son's sacrifice. He just said to keep the discussion away from emotions. Then, the wife of a soldier who was killed was allowed to speak and she praised the policies of this deplorable and despicable administration, and she was thanked and praised by the panel.

I wonder what her id's are at Liberty Forum and Liberty Post...
Anti-war, anti-Isreal, Bush hater. Is Sheeham on Buchanan's payroll?
Knock off the personal insults.
I think the FR community is off her radar: all the validation she needs she is getting from the mainstream media camped out with her.
Of course she has a right to voice her opinion. Free Speech is not a hit-and-run proposition, however. It sometimes comes with consequences and repercussions to what you've said. Liberal moonbats do not want to deal with that part.
OMG. So she's anti-Semitic as well as being a lunatic.
First entry
Leftist ... anyone with an opinion opposite my own.
So anyone that regards Sheehan's agenda as leftist is now "intellectually challenged"?
Well I'm trying my best to keep my part in this discussion on a higher plane!! I know that sometimes I fall short but I assure you I'm trying.
This "iconoclast" is on fire, huh?
What the hell's gotten up his ass?
You'd be surprised how often they go hand-in-hand. :)
I just did a search on her. One site said that she had hated President Bush ever since the 2000 and 2004 elections. It seems that she has always been a liberal dem.
That statement is so incredibly off the deep end. I'm just speechless.
those thoughts would be...? Aside from bitter deranged talking points, that is?
Because it suits her purpose which is to impeach President Bush.
Patriotic rally in Crawford this coming Saturday:
