I think her motivations are becoming abundantly clear.
Look at this "sad" mama grin.
***...Although surprised at the attention she has garnered, Sheehan has developed media savvy with assistance from the national public relations firm Fenton Communications, which has also worked with MoveOn.org, the liberal group that campaigned against Bush last year.
And after saying she would camp out every night in her tent, Sheehan made an exception Monday when she stayed in a bed-and-breakfast to prepare for an interview the next morning with ABC News.
Some who have joined Sheehan say they made impulsive decisions to come here after learning about her protest on Web sites and other media. ...***
This protest has such an impromptu, real life, spur of the moment feel to it. LOL.
Gag alert advised.

But now you've gotten top billing -- and five whole paragraphs -- in Maureen Dowd's column. You've definitely arrived. What's next? Charlie Rose? I hope not. I hope you're on Oprah and Montel and all the shows that average Americans watch. They need to see your fight, your grief, your plain sincerity, your considerable issues knowledge, and your homespun gumption.....***

Somebody...SOMEBODY...NEEDS TO NIP THIS IN THE BUD ASAP!
All Cindy, all the time. If only as much attention was paid to ... oh, I don't know... lots of other things. Big projects coming up. Big projects that have to be finished. And whatever happened to Natalee Holloway?

By Greg Mitchell, Editor and Publisher
***The father of a U.S. Army soldier killed in Iraq earlier this month, who believes his son was in one of the caskets shown in the now famous Tami Silicio photograph, has written a letter to The Seattle Times thanking the newspaper for publishing the picture that broke a Pentagon ban. "Hiding the death and destruction of this war does not make it easier on anyone except those who want to keep the truth away from the people," the father, Bill Mitchell, wrote yesterday...................***
