1. I hadn't seen this before - good one!

most of the pieces I see have some snide remarks or embarrassing questions about some rumor, but not this one. glad at least one decent reporter and editor and manager and thanks to cbs

2. I just cannot imagine

I don't know what to say. That clip made me cry and as much as I try to avoid it I know I must make myself look. This war must stop, the killing must stop. God bless those who have lost loved ones and those who have yet to lose a loved one, bless them all.

4. Anything to "Keep America Safe" so they say... in a convoluted

sort of way, the people we kill today, whose relatives will surely say, I'd like to spit some beachnut in that fella's eye..... so it doesn't rhyme.. sue me.

15. Thanks for posting.

There are a yard full of kids that age here now, and it is heartwrenching to think of losing a single one of them in these circumstances.

18. Video plays just fine on my G5 Macintosh

with OSX 10.3 and Safari by clicking on link. But on my wife's PowerBook, she had to copy the link and paste it into the "File-->Open Location" menu item in RealPlayer 10.

20. thx that worked - n/t

:toast:

peace

19. Download the link, then use 'get info' and change the 'open with'

to Realplayer.

[janedoe]

22. Thanks!

I'm a ludite, using OS9.

Download link, then with "get info" copy the link location.
Then, paste the link in RealPlayer and it plays.

I never knew this method and have assumed I was out of luck.

Thanks for the direction!

17. Nightline had her on for their first half last night

It was called, "A Day with Cindy Sheehan". All of this msm coverage is great. :)

[Not_Giving_Up]

21. That was awesome

The more mothers that speak up the better. Are they going to try to swift-boat every one of them that goes on camera and backs Cindy?

[FreedomAngel82]

23. That was very good

And so sad. :( I'm glad though that this happened because it can offer a support group for other people like the woman featured. It's so heartbreaking all these young men/women died. All their lives ruined and the mother made a good point. No matter how they come back everyone involved's lives are changed. :( And those attacking these mothers are simply disgusting and should be ashamed.

24. Good report!

I especially liked it that they acknowledged that there were families on "the other side" who do not like what is going on at Camp Casey, but they kept the focus on the war protesters and particularly that one mother. Proof positive that you can do a story on a particular issue and NOT have to give equal time down to the second to the other side.
