Brain-dead comment #1:
BRENDAN TREMBATH: But by using your own son's name, do you run the risk of being a celebrity victim yourself, where his story is repeatedly brought up without necessarily raising the quality of the debate?
CINDY SHEEHAN: I don't understand. I'm trying to use his death to prevent others.

She says that Afghanistan might have given up Osama bin Laden if the US had gone through the proper extradition channels. "The Taliban said to George Bush: 'You send us proper extradition [papers] and we will look at it'."

Brain-dead comment #3:
"This has been an evolution for me since Casey was killed. I didn't like war, but I kind of thought World War II was a good war. But now I have gone to the total opposite, there is no good war. And violence is never a solution to any problem."

OK Cindy, we get it. You're using Casey's death to make a point, not to make money ($11,000 dollars
for a single speaking engagement is a lot of money, honey). The Taliban was going to hand over bin
Laden (even though they claimed the had no idea where he was). And finally, we never should have gone
to war against Hitler (ever hear of a guy named Neville Chamberlain?)
