A group led by anti-war activist Cindy Sheehan has protested near the CIA's headquarters and former Vice President Dick Cheney's home in northern Virginia.
They were protesting the use of unmanned drone aircraft to attack al-Qaida and Taliban targets.
The group of about 70 people rallied alongside a highway near the CIA compound Saturday. About half then marched to Cheney's nearby street and stayed for 20 minutes. Police kept them from going down his street.
Sheehan's 21-year-old son Casey was killed in Iraq in April 2004. She staged a prolonged demonstration outside former President George W. Bush's ranch near Crawford, Texas, in 2005.
She says using drones is "cowardly" and "immoral

I’m listening.
If he doesn't, maybe Cindy will call for his impeachment.
Why are these morons targeting Cheney?
If they don’t like the drone strikes in Pakistan perhaps they should protest the White House where the man who makes that decision works.
But, Code Pink is too political correct to criticize Obama so the most logical thing is a man who is no longer in power.
“As per a study collating all strike data in 2009, the casualties up to July 18, 2009 surpassed the hits over all of 2008. Total fatalities in 2009: 574, Total fatalities in 2008: 165”
OK. I can’t argue with that premise. But...
Good point. Speaking of, what’s Code Pink been up to? We are still at war I thought. Are they suddenly OK with war or is the lamestream media not covering their protests?
Impeach Cheney!!!!!!!
Nixon has to go!!!!!
Not only that, but where are nightly body count totals of U.S. Troops?
Why would she protest Lon Chaney.....
Do you know that they don’t have permission ?
Maybe she’s protesting Lon Chaney Jr.?
Obama lives at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave.
Perhaps she needs to update her Garmin.
They would not dare cover code pink outburts against Obama. He’s the media’s guy.

Ironic that the location where they were protesting was where a Pakistani terrorist killed two CIA employees and wounded three others as they were waiting to enter the headquarters compound back in 1993.
