It is evident to the reporters left wing bias that s/he barely
mentioned the pro-Bush/pro-troops rally this weekend in Crawford, which
attracted just as many people:

BTW, for those of you who think Cindy speaks for her familye, here's a
letter from the REST of Casey Sheehan's family:
>From tonight's Drudge Report (8/11/05): 

FAMILY OF FALLEN SOLDIER PLEADS: PLEASE STOP, CINDY! 
Thu Aug 11 2005 12:56:21 ET 

The family of American soldier Casey Sheehan, who was killed in Iraq on
April 4, 2004, has broken its silence and spoken out against his mother
Cindy Sheehan's anti-war vigil against George Bush held outside the
president's Crawford, Texas ranch. 

The following email was received by the DRUDGE REPORT from Casey's aunt
and godmother: 

"Our family has been so distressed by the recent activities of Cindy we
are breaking our silence and we have collectively written a statement
for release. Feel free to distribute it as you wish. 

Thanks, Cherie 

In response to questions regarding the Cindy Sheehan/Crawford Texas
issue: Sheehan Family Statement: 

The Sheehan Family lost our beloved Casey in the Iraq War and we have
been silently, respectfully grieving. We do not agree with the
political motivations and publicity tactics of Cindy Sheehan. She now
appears to be promoting her own personal agenda and notoriety at the
the expense of her son's good name and reputation. The rest of the
Sheehan Family supports the troops, our country, and our President,
silently, with prayer and respect. 

Sincerely, 

Casey Sheehan's grandparents, aunts, uncles and numerous cousins. "
