I have to respectfully disagree with Michele to some extent, but I want to tread carefully, here.

Sheehan's made some claims to the effect that her family -- other people touched by the loss of Casey -- supports what she's doing; that, in effect, she's doing what she's doing not just in her own name, not just in Casey's name, but also in theirs.

To the extent that revelations about disagreements within the family demonstrate these claims to be false, they are relevant. But only to that extent. Gloating over the woman's divorce is just ghastly.

A fair distinction.

"Sinister Piffle" would be an excellent name for a rock band.

Brett, I've made the point that the divorce was in the works before this all became an issue.

Just because they are getting divorced and just because the family is not together does not mean they don't support her views on the war/Bush/Casey's death. You can divorce someone and still share their political beliefs.

There was a message on Drudge, coming from Casey's aunts & uncles, that they distanced themselves from Cindy and supported Bush.
I'm just surprised (not) that that didn't get any airplay.

Staying away from the personal issues, I found her statement on Hardball interesting:

MATTHEWS: All right. If your son had been killed in Afghanistan, would you have a different feeling? SHEEHAN: I don't think so, Chris, because I believe that Afghanistan is almost the same thing. We're fighting terrorism. Or terrorists, we're saying. But they're not contained in a country. This is an ideology and not an enemy. And we know that Iraq, Iraq had no terrorism. They were no threat to the United States of America. MATTHEWS: But Afghanistan was harboring, the Taliban was harboring al-Qaida which is the group that attacked us on 9/11. SHEEHAN: Well then we should have gone after al-Qaida and maybe not after the country of Afghanistan.

rbj,it didn't get any media play because it turns out that the relatives in question aren't close to the Sheehan family at all, hadn't seen Cindy Sheehan in years and barely knew Casey.

That said, her Afghanistan statement is indicative of real moonbat territory. It's almost Rall-like.
