See here, where she refers to the foreigners who are coming to Iraq to join the insurgency as “freedom fighters,” a term that I take it is a term of approbation for a person and his cause. (The statement is in an interview off the bus with a bearded interviewer — I’m told it’s Mark Knoller of CBS — I’m about 1/4 of the way into the file; I wish I could give a minute/second mark, but I can’t seem to get it to appear for me when the file is in this format.) I haven’t been following the Cindy Sheehan story much, since I’m not sure that there’s a lot of there there. But this particular item really struck me in a way that her attacks on President Bush did not.
Needless to say, I sympathize a great deal with Ms. Sheehan’s loss, but when she’s voluntarily made herself into a political figure, it seems to me that her views are legitimately open to criticism. Thanks to WorldNetDaily for the link, but I’ve checked it myself.
