Cindy Sheehan Confused at Dick Cheney’s
Posted on | January 17, 2010 |
LANGLEY, Virginia — A group led by anti-war activist Cindy Sheehan has protested near the CIA’s headquarters and former Vice President Dick Cheney’s home in northern Virginia. They were protesting the use of unmanned drone aircraft to attack al-Qaida and Taliban targets.
The group of about 70 people rallied alongside a highway near the CIA compound Saturday. About half then marched to Cheney’s nearby street and stayed for 20 minutes. Police kept them from going down his street.
Sheehan’s 21-year-old son Casey was killed in Iraq in April 2004. She staged a prolonged demonstration outside former President George W. Bush’s ranch near Crawford, Texas, in 2005.
She says using drones is “cowardly” and “immoral.”

My Comment about this story is that it doesn’t make sense. For starters she’s upset that we are using drones. I would think this would save more American lives including those like her son. Second, we are currently in Afghanistan because of Obama (according to CNN), so are these people simply just lost or are they confused?
