More Democrats should join with the people at Camp Casey..?
And speak out against the war, even if they are tagged as "left-wing" fringe? Is it sensible or logical to expect politicians to join us? After all, they are thinking of the political consequences and they don't want to give their Repub opponents any opposition to use against them in the next election. We may disagree with that. I don't think it really matters. The people at Camp Casey are the leaders. Our politicians are followers. If the news reports began reporting consistently that this was the politically correct position to be, then Democrats and even Republicans, would flood to Camp Casey to be seen with the "favorites".
In other words, they are sticking their fingers in the air to see which way the wind is blowing. We should not expect much from these folks.

2. Wouldn't it be more appropriate for them to visit Judy Miller?
Judy Judy Judy Whatsa Mata Hari, how are you this fine morning? Breakfast to your likin? Roomates takin Beano out of consideration for your sensativities? Judy says she's not talkin. Judy that altitude is not going over well, nowhere, no how. See that's why you're in the slammer in the first place. OK I gotta run, found a poster of your favorite person to decorate your accomodations.

3. I don't think they should go or speak
out about it - the Republican politicians are making fools out of themselves by trashing Cindy and the minute Democrats show up, it will be all about them and not about Cindy and other Americans joining her.
