Rich Lowry is reporting on the Corner that Sheehan wrote the letter. You know, the one in which she said her son was killed for lies, the neocon agenda, and Israel things she denied on CNN ever having said:
In a nut shell, ABC now says it talked to Sheehan and she said she did in fact write the letter in question after all and she did receive an e-mail from ABC confirming that ABC had received it. But she thinks the version on the web has been tampered with. Very, very strange...
In a nut shell indeed. So let me get this straight: Cindy Sheehan fires off a letter to ABC after an appearance on Nightline in which she felt Ted Koppel wronged her by "dismissing" her as "emotional." Then, at least according to what Sheehan told ABC, someone tampered with the version of her letter online, specifically this paragraph:
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.
Does this explanation even make sense? First, that paragraph follows from the main thrust of her letter, which is a rebuke to Ted Koppel for dismissing her as emotional. Second, the sentiments expressed in that paragraph echo sentiments Sheehan has expressed many times before and since she wrote that letter. It's becoming more and more clear that Cindy Sheehan lied to Anderson Cooper in order to make herself seem more mainstream to CNN's audience. (But with her record of anti-American vitriol, that's not likely to happen anytime soon.)
ABC News also said they spoke to CNN to see if they are going to run a correction about the statement Anderson Cooper made that "ABC News does not seem to be confirming this is what Cindy Sheehan wrote to them." In fairness to CNN, that conclusion seemed reasonable yesterday. Today, the most likely conclusion is that Cindy Sheehan is making up totally implausible excuses for lying on TV.

I actually don't think she did write it. I think her handlers did. Personally I think she is so far gone she has no grasp of what is really happening.
BWAAAA HAAAAHAAA CINDY SHEEHAN IS SOOOOO BUSTED!
But this is what she said just yesterday:
"Another big deal today was the lie that I had said that Casey died for Israel. I never said that, I never wrote that. I had supposedly said it in a letter that I wrote to Ted Koppels producer in March. I wrote the letter because I was upset at the way Ted treated me when I appeared at a Nightline Town Hall meeting in January right after the inauguration. I felt that Ted had totally disrespected me. I wrote the letter to Ted Bettag and ccd a copy to the person who gave me Teds address. I believe he changed the email and sent it out to capitalize on my new found notoriety by promoting his own agenda. Enough about that."
Over here.
I think it was a neocon wrote the letter. Or maybe it was a Karl Rove plot.
Sdandard wild-eyed moonbat speak. One of their main talking points is PNAC, the other is neo-con.
She has gotten deep into the liberal kool-aid.
BUSTED!
So we [Anderson Cooper 360] contacted ABC News today about it. They said they had received a letter on behalf of Cindy back in March. They said took it seriously enough that they responded to it, but so far they cannot find the actual e-mail, they say. They say they're trying to find it, they're investigating.
A likely story.
Yes she is!
PNAC probably wrote it for her, way back in 1996. :o)
BWAHAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!
While ABC is capable of this, way more likely it's just another lie from a disturbed (demented) lefty.
I wonder how CNN will spin this to favor Mrs. Sheehan. Or will they just ignore the story altogether.
By the JOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOZZ!!
Liberals always lie and use people, even their own children, because it's always all about them.
