I just e-mailed the FR link to the transcript to Michael Medved. Everyone should send it to their favorite radio show hosts--this needs to be ALL OVER the airwaves: Rush, Hannity, Prager, Hewitt, Humphries, Larson, Beck, etc.
Great job!!! The more she opens her mouth, the more her story starts to fall apart. When I first heard this story, my impression was that Casey was just out of high school and died in Iraq five days after getting there. I did NOT know he re-enlisted; I did NOT know he was 24 years old and I did not know he volunteered for the rescue mission.
Those facts were purposely left out by not only Cindy Sheehan, but the media. Do those facts negate the tragedy of his death? Of COURSE not! But it does show that he was an adult who apparently wanted to be serving in the military. His mother's actions and comments have TOTALLY overshadowed HIS heroism and HIS life by painting him as an ignorant dupe.
Even NPR tried to ask her about her wacky comments and quite frankly, contradictory statements. She came off in the interview as a "valley girl" who won't talk unless able to spew her talking points. Let her keep talking.
