Some news outlets, such as the liberal Salon.com, were allowed to put two or more questions to Ms. Sheehan, while other organizations were not permitted to ask questions at all.

Isn't that special?

Ms. Sheehan described herself as a Democrat and a liberal but said she does not view her protest as political.

She's trying to influence a war and is the darling of our enemies but it's not political!

The political action branch of MoveOn.org that is coordinating the vigils said on its Web site that all of its activities "are considered partisan under the law." The group counseled those holding vigils not to use the resources or facilities of nonprofit organizations, whose tax status could be jeopardized by political activity. The advice is confusing because one of the groups identified as a backer of tonight's vigils, TrueMajority, is part of an organization called Priorities Incorporated, which describes itself as "non-profit" and "non-partisan."

Do you yhink FRs digging hit a nerve?

I'm shocked that they put this out there. They've got to be nervous about it. If only the Bush administration would use the IRS like Clinton's did many of these groups would lose their tax-exempt status for blatant violations of the tax code.
