There aren't more than 10 people in any of the photos. Why did Yahoo bother with it?
Because it's Mother Sheehan! How dare you question this grieving mother!
And those 10 people look a lot like the usual suspects. I think Yahoo just automatically posts whatever AP and Reuters puts up.
The amazing shot is that they actually posted her sitting in the empty tent waiting to sign books. LOL
Top Ten Excuses there were no more protesters.
10. My team was playing this weekend
9. Had to work my shift at Starbucks at the mall
8. Dude, it's cold
7. Dad said if I left on a holiday, he'd cut off my trust fund
6. Had to study
5. Dude, it's cold
4. Waiting for my travel voucher from Soros

Help me out on the rest.
We were in Waco for Thanksgiving and took an afternoon drive
to Crawford. We pulled up to a road block where we were flagged
over and told to wait. A van with CPH (Crawford Peace House) pulled
up and around 10 got out.
As the Entourage drove past the 10 all flashed the peace sign - Wow!
My daughter in law's mother and I did the thumbs up. She was yelling
"Go Bush, he's my hero" and I was yelling "We support our troops!"
Needless to say we weren't well received by the professional protesters.
I brought up France burning and some twit said her daughter just
returned from France - she never did make her point about that.
The CPH had about 40 or more cars parked out front, where they had a traditional Iraqi Thanksgiving dinner according to reports.
Mostly old hippies!
Cindy wasn't back yet.
There was an Arab man camped nearby with a sign saying don't pullout -
"The insurgents will consider it a victory!"
Photos available upon request unless someone can coach me to post them here.
Sorry I couldn't post with links, but looks like Yahoo really did their homework on this Sheehan news. Labor of love, I'd reckon.
