    President Bush used to enjoy healthy support for his Iraq policy. But now freeway ’bloggers’ are speaking out, writes Rupert Cornwell
    Feel like getting something off your chest against that iniquitous warmonger in the White House? Well, you can write a letter to your newspaper, tune in to liberal talk radio, or click to a reliably leftie website. Alternatively, you can take a drive on the highways of the United States.
    These are the domain of the freeway bloggers, a breed that have (…)

  • The Murder of Casey Sheehan

    By Marjorie Cohn
    For seven days, Cindy Sheehan has been camped down the road from George Bush’s Crawford ranch where the President is on a five-week vacation. Cindy says she will never enjoy a vacation again. Her heart is broken. Her precious son Casey was murdered in George Bush’s war on Iraq.
    Cindy Sheehan is a patient woman. She will wait until Bush comes out and talks to her. She will wait until the man who ordered the invasion of a country that posed no threat to us explains why (…)

    In January of this year, Rep. Curt Weldon made a speech to the House of Representatives - a speech which no one took notice of, and which hardly anyone heard, except maybe inveterate C-SPAN watchers - in which he made a number of extraordinary assertions:
    "Mr. Speaker, I rise because information has come to my attention over the past several months that is very disturbing. I have learned that, in fact, one of our Federal agencies had, in fact, identified the major New (…)

  • In Iraq, No Clear Finish Line - Timing Is Muddy For U.S. Pullout
    13 August 2005 par (Open-Publishing)

    By Peter Baker
    The Bush administration has sent seemingly conflicting signals in recent days over the duration of the U.S. deployment to Iraq, openly discussing contingency plans to withdraw as many as 30,000 of 138,000 troops by spring, then cautioning against expectations of any early pullout. Finally yesterday, President Bush dismissed talk of a drawdown as just "speculation and rumors" and warned against "withdrawing before the mission is complete."
    If the public was left confused, (…)

    The above ad, paid for by Gold Star Families for Peace, will air on Crawford cable channels near Bush’s ranch. The total ad buy is currently $15,000. The group plans to air the ad throughout August and wherever Bush visits during his vacation.
    Sheehan’s son, Casey, was an Army mechanic who was killed just five days after arriving in Iraq.
    "He was only 24 and he died in his best friend’s arms," Sheehan says in the ad, directed at President Bush. "Casey (…)

  • Camp Casey: Day 6

    Day 6 began early yesterday morning when people in cars drove by our camp a few times and blasted on their horns. I just assume they were blaring their approval of us.
    Before we get to the less than negative things that are happening out at Camp Casey and in the world at large, over 700 people showed up at the Camp yesterday. There were more people, flowers, cards, mail, interviews, laughter, heartache, camaraderie, excitement, and just sheer work.
    We had the first birthday party last (…)

    CAMP CASEY, TX (Part One) Thursday is only a few minutes young, but Cindy Sheehan is already running late. Rumors are percolating that police will swoop into Camp Casey at midnight to arrest everyone, and she dare not be late for a date like that. So she says, “I really have to go now,” and takes her leave from the soft light and murmur of the Crawford Peace House lawn. Before she goes however she does have time to say that her fever is getting a little better.
    Among the (…)

    THE BUSH STRATEGY FOR EXECUTIVE ACTION
    (A dismal dirge for a country fallen upon evil times by evil people.)
    August 12, 2005
    By Peter Fredson
    We are soon coming up on a count of 2,000 “brave boys” who have died for Bush lies about oil, bases, embassies, and invasions of other countries. Perhaps the number of American soldiers killed in Iraq will soon match the 3,000 innocent people killed in the 9/11 disaster in New York. In this way Bush will be personally responsible for as many (…)

    –
    Cindy Sheehan, speaking live on the Ed Schultz radio show (and elsewhere) on Thursday, August 11, said that the media and Congress have not held the president accountable for his actions. She added that the President’s decision on whether or not to speak to her, the Gold Star Mothers for Peace and the American people is the President’s accountability moment.
    Sheehan, the mother of Casey Sheehan, who died fighting for America in Iraq, has been holding a vigil outside the President’s (…)
