  "Cindy Sheehan phoned me from [Crawford,] Texas a few minutes ago to say that she's been informed that beginning Thursday, she and her companions will be considered a threat to national security and will be arrested.  Coincidentally, Thursday is the day that Rice and Rumsfeld visit the ranch, and Friday is a fundraiser event for the haves and the have mores.  Cindy said that she and others plan to be arrested."

  
  

  Visit: http://www.meetwithcindy.org for more information.  Cindy Sheehan is a mother of a soldier killed last year in Iraq.  She has been trying to get the president or the administration to answer questions as to why the war that killed her son actually started and why it's being continued.  (And probably also why the president is on vacation during a time of war)

  
  

  As someone who had a brother in Iraq, and who currently has several close friends over there now, I would like those questions answered also.  Expecially since we know that the administration has continually lied to us about the war, and has slandered and/or fired anyone who tried to tell the truth about the war.  And to think that I used to be a Republican... I guess that I can thank G.W. Bush (& Carl Rove) for my conversion.

  
  

  [UPDATE:] Now the right wing has chosen to attack this woman, who is just trying to figure out what (if anything) her son died for.  They claim that she's just a pawn of the ultra-liberal groups...which are obviously forcing her at gunpoint to camp out in the rain (now also with a fever).  They also claim that she's changed her mind on the war in the last year or two... No kidding.  The 9-11 report, the downing street minutes, treasongate, etc. have all happened since her first brief meeting with the president.
