***........It is far more likely that Ms. Sheehan has flip-flopped because she has either been unwittingly co-opted or has willingly aligned herself with some of the more virulent radical leftwing groups protesting the war. Ms. Sheehan posts her blog on both Michael Moore's website and at the website of Code Pink, the lovely leftists who sent $600,000 to the "insurgents" in Iraq and who protest every week outside Walter Reed hospital, in full view of the wounded soldiers recovering there.
Digging further, it has been discovered that Ms. Sheehan participated in a rally for Steve and Virginia Pearcy, the Sacramento couple that came under fire for hanging a U.S. soldier in effigy outside of their home. Ms. Sheehan also spoke at a rally at San Francisco State University, with the group "Students Against War". This rally was to honor Lynne Stewart, the radical lawyer whose most egregious client was Omar Abdul Rahman - the convicted bomber of the first WTC attacks.
During this rally, Ms. Sheehan stated, "Lynne is my human Atticus Finch. He did what he knew was right, but wasn't popular. That is what Lynne is doing." Sheehan further stated that, "we (Americans) have been killing people, we are responsible for death and destruction over the past 200 years." Sheehan further denoted George W. Bush as the "biggest terrorist" and ludicrously asserted that the United States was waging a "nuclear war" in Iraq. She further stated that Iraq is suffering under a "U.S. imposed sense of freedom and democracy". Yes, things must have been so much better under Saddam! Also at this rally, flyers entitled, "Should We Help the Iraqi Resistance?" were passed out. ..........***
"Lynne is my human Atticus Finch. He did what he knew was right, but wasn't popular. That is what Lynne is doing."

The rest of the story about Cindy Sheehan
By Peter Bronson
Enquirer staff writer
The Associated Press
Cindy Sheehan of Vacaville, Calif., stands in front of her tent that was set up last week on the side of the road that leads to President Bush's ranch outside Crawford, Texas.
You can't swing a peace poster in Crawford, Texas, without hitting a herd of reporters and anti-war protesters, who are camped out to tell us about Cindy Sheehan, the "Heartbroken Mom of a Hero Killed in Iraq."
But they're not telling the whole story. And anyone who dares to try is attacked as "right-wing Bush lackeys who smear the Heartbroken Mom."
"Dead soldier's mom wants answers," the headlines say - but they don't ask tough questions.
"Bush refuses to meet with mother of dead soldier," they say - without mentioning that he already met with her.
Newspaper headlines and TV reports all week told us how she accuses Bush of killing her son. But none reported that she told a very different story when she met with Bush two months after her son Casey was killed.
