WACO, Texas — Cindy Sheehan said Saturday that despite her overnight hospitalization after a minor gynecological procedure and treatment for dehydration, the war protest activities will continue on land she bought near President Bush's Crawford ranch. Sheehan was listed stable condition Saturday at Providence Health Center in Waco, about 20 miles east of Crawford. Sheehan said she could be released later in the day but would still need to rest. She said she probably would not attend an afternoon barbecue at Camp Casey, the protesters' campsite named for her soldier son who was killed in Iraq in 2004. "Everything will...

Anti-war activist Cindy Sheehan is now "channeling" her slain son, Casey, from heaven, suggesting he's calling President Bush "an idiot," and she claims to have "tens of thousands of angels" supporting her cause to bring U.S. troops home immediately. "When I get up [to heaven], he's gonna say, 'Good job, mom,'" Mrs. Sheehan said in a speech last night upon her return to Crawford, Texas. "He's not going to say, 'Why'd you make me spin in my grave?' you know. And I can just hear him saying, 'George Bush, you are really an idiot. You didn't know what you were...

She left last week to visit her 74-year-old mother,...

There's a protest movement afoot in Crawford, Texas and it's growing larger with each passing day. No, I don't mean that one. Just across the street from Cindy Sheehan's "Camp Casey," a relatively small but significant group calling themselves "Camp Reality" have organized to voice their support for President Bush and the liberation of Iraq. And the anchor of this movement is one 18-year-old woman named Bethany Berry. Bethany's father John Berry is a chaplain with the U.S. Army Reserves currently serving in Iraq. He's been in and out of active military duty since 1972. Before being shipped to Iraq,...

Tuesday, August 23, 2005 Cindy Sheehan, the 48-year-old California mom whose anti-war protest has sparked international interest and plenty of controversy, will likely return to her post near President Bush's Central Texas ranch late Wednesday afternoon after a week-long absence.

Casey Sheehan, 24, died in the Iraq war in April 2004, began her protest on Aug....
