Rich Lowry is reporting on the Corner that Sheehan wrote the letter. You know, the one in which she said her son was killed for lies, the neocon agenda, and Israel — things she denied on CNN ever having said:
In a nut shell, ABC now says it talked to Sheehan and she said she did in fact write the letter in question after all and she did receive an e-mail from ABC confirming that ABC had received it. But she thinks the version on the web has been tampered with. Very, very strange...
In a nut shell indeed. So let me get this straight: Cindy Sheehan fires off a letter to ABC after an appearance on Nightline in which she felt Ted Koppel wronged her by "dismissing" her as "emotional." Then, at least according to what Sheehan told ABC, someone tampered with the version of her letter online, specifically this paragraph:
Am I emotional? Yes, my first born was murdered. Am I angry? Yes, he was killed for lies and for a PNAC Neo-Con agenda to benefit Israel. My son joined the Army to protect America, not Israel.
Does this explanation even make sense? First, that paragraph follows from the main thrust of her letter, which is a rebuke to Ted Koppel for dismissing her as emotional. Second, the sentiments expressed in that paragraph echo sentiments Sheehan has expressed many times before and since she wrote that letter. It's becoming more and more clear that Cindy Sheehan lied to Anderson Cooper in order to make herself seem more mainstream to CNN's audience. (But with her record of anti-American vitriol, that's not likely to happen anytime soon.)
ABC News also said they spoke to CNN to see if they are going to run a correction about the statement Anderson Cooper made that "ABC News does not seem to be confirming this is what Cindy Sheehan wrote to them." In fairness to CNN, that conclusion seemed reasonable yesterday. Today, the most likely conclusion is that Cindy Sheehan is making up totally implausible excuses for lying on TV.
So do I. And he's cute too.
"Now it's up to MSM to nail her."
Doubts. I hope Cindy runs with the somebody changed the Email/letter on me story though.
I was one of the Freepers giving this lady a break because of her grief. Now I suspect she was completely unglued before her son's death. The above paragraph is typical of any nutty conspiracy theorist.
And then she says America isn't worth defending. As always the moonbats want it both ways.
She has gotten deep into the liberal kool-aid.

I think the product should be renamed to KOOK-AID !!!
And what if she goes to D.C.?
Wouldn't you think by now that the MSM would have learned their lesson after Rathergate and everything else lately? They just keep stepping in it time and time again because they so desperately want to do anything possible to discredit the Bush administration. It's truly pathetic.
Notice how Karl Rove is no longer on the front page at the moment because that was going nowhere, so they latch on to this Cindy Sheehan thing like flies on sh!t, only to find that it was bull$@#t.
They will never learn.
Special thanks for that gem!
In terms of proof; generally speaking, in order to pull off something like this you need at least three network administrators, in at least three different businesses to alter the email by hand on 5 or 6 different servers, firewalls and spam filters.
And the alterations have to preserve the overall successive nature of email traffic.
Cindy's getting ready for her prime-time address to the 2008 Dem convention..
and dont forget its all about the "jooz"
The preliminary seating chart has her in the VIP section, right between Jimmuh Cawtuh and Mikey Moore.
I saw this on Anderson Gay when I was channel surfing yesterday. Sheehan was denying 100% that she wrote the letter.
heheheh.........
Anderson Cooper = neolib patsy !! LMAO
I happened to be at the gym (4:30PDT) when CNN was interview Sheehan. Anderson Cooper was gushing and blushing when Sheehan was proclaiming innocence by stating, "I never said that, I never wrote that."
Anderson says, "thank you for clarifying this."
I was so nauseous I almost fell off the Procor machine.
I always enjoy him when he appears on FOX. He is one smart cookie.
You know, one thing my husband and I always talk about is the difference between Republican pundits and Democrat ones, especially in terms of T.V. appearances. You have people like Mr. Lowry, Bill Bennett, and any number of others, with the exception of perhaps Ms. Coulter, who always remain respectful, calm, well-spoken and stick to facts. On the other hand, the Dems always resort to personal attacks and talking points and make idiots of themselves.
Well, the jig is up now.
