in response to reader comment: What Sheehan is really about

The author of this article, and the first few commenters, seem to delight in attacking Cindy Sheehan's character without addressing the substance of her position. (Gee, where have I seen this pattern before?)

If you are interested, Cindy Sheehan has responded to this article at:

After you read her response, think about the ethics of journalism and how we got into the mess we're in.
