I cannot believe that none of Casey's friends or relatives have come forward with copies of his letters or e-mails stating HIS feelings or opinions about the war in Iraq.

"...the President’s reason for continuing the war because he’s killed so many American soldiers already he has to kill more."

I've watched her say this on video and it is just so idiotic that if it were to make the MSM nightly news then I think any sympathy the "general public" might have for her would evaporate.

"maybe cindy's mother had a stroke because of cindy's anti-american, anti-military, and anti-cindy's brother's actions."

That was the first thing that came to mind when they reported her mother was sick.

Maybe a phone call from Cindy set her off./s

I'm just as surprised the the even-handed questions by the host. They seem quite thoughtful and even respectfully challenging, even for NPR lol.

Neal Connan was captured during the Iraq war back in 1991 by the Iraqis. I am sure he thought that the Iraqis would never do harm to an American reporter because they were secretly rooting for the defeat of the USA. Maybe he learned his lesson on who these people really are while in captivity.

"You also nead to HEAR how vapid and vacant she sound as she repeats her memorized anti-Bush script"

Yes! Especially that part about "he acted like it was a tea party, he was rude to us, etc..." Her voice there just went into noticable recitation mode - using the exact same words etc...

Its not like we didn't know both sides have their "talking points", but she really doesn't pull it off very well.

Well, the communications part IS true. Having been there and tried to call out and having to call back and forth with basil during Saturday's rally, I can guarantee the cell phone reception is TERRIBLE.

After reading the transcript, I now know that when I said she was a 'mental midget', I was totally correct.

Wouldn't it be great to have a Bush Impersonator call her and get on while she's alone and see what she has to say without her being coached. They know they have to keep her on a short leach . Sounded like the prescripted Katie Homes interview.

but what about her other children

They signed the "family letter" asking her to stop the idiotic leftist tripe. I guess they are Americans.

They didn’t tell us they didn’t have to fulfill their promises.

Were those promises on paper? Then they had to fulfill them. The recruiter made other promises? Well then the kid should have read that last bit of his enlistment contract that clearly states only promises written in this block are guaranteed, all others are meaningless.

The fact that he re-enlisted is an important one due to Cindy's continually talking about him being killed after only 5 days in Iraq, after being lied to by the recruiter! This was his second hitch.

SNIP.....

CS: "Well, he was only there five days before he was killed. He started one letter that he never finished, and we got it back with his things."

I thought he was on a SECOND tour in Iraq?

CS: "Yeah, we’re taking the bus tour to Washington D.C. and we’re all meeting there on September 24 for the big United for Peace and Justice…um, war protest."

And when is ANY regular media venue going to ask an interviewee like Sheehan: "So then, are you working with the organizers of 'United for Peace and Justice'." "Does it bother you that they are organized by International A.N.S.W.E.R., an American Bolshevik organization?" Oh, no, tha't impossible, it would be telling the listeners something really meaningful about Ms. Sheehan, and God forbid they ever do that; that would be breaking the rules.

This would be BIG NEWS if the tables were flipped and cindy was a conservative.

In fact...cindy's entire, horrific bio of years of protests and associations would be the the lips of every american......geeeeeeeez...the press truly did expose the last vestiges of their failed agenda with their failure to introduce america to this heinous manipulator.

What is that creature behind her doing? Did she call the Orkin Man?

Yeah, I saw another thread earlier where they showed a staellite communications truck in "Camp Spacey" - ostensibly for media communications.

How'd you like to have a job being one of her handlers? Man, that's gotta be nerver racking!

You act as if there's something disreputable about Communists.

I agree. Jane Fonda should have been shot or hanged. But this Cindy woman is a nutcase. And in 10 years, she will be uglier than Helen Thomas.
