Cindy Sheehan in Egypt for Islamists

CAIRO, Egypt (AP) - Anti-war activist Cindy Sheehan joined a protest Wednesday seeking the support of Egypt's first lady in ending a military trial of members of the country's largest Islamic organization.

Under the watchful eyes of dozens of black-clad and helmeted anti-riot police, some 50 heavily veiled wives and children of 40 senior members of the Muslim Brotherhood detained for the past year, gathered in front of the headquarters of first lady Suzanne Mubarak's National Council Women carrying banners calling for their release.

"I am here to protest the trial of civilians in front of a military tribunal as this is a violation to international law," said Sheehan, who gained fame in the U.S. for her sit-in outside President Bush's Texas ranch following the death of her son in Iraq.

"As a mother of a son who was killed in the war, I presented a letter to Ms. Suzanne Mubarak to realize how those women and children are suffering."

The street protest was rare in Egypt where authorities ban most signs of public dissent.

One woman carried a sleeping infant in her arms along with a poster reading "Father, I miss you."

In December 2006, the government engaged in a wide-ranging crackdown against the Brotherhood, the country's largest opposition force—which holds one-fifth of the seats in the parliament—targeting in particular businessmen known to financially support the group.

In February 2007, President Hosni Mubarak ordered 40 of the organization's members to be tried by a military tribunal on charges of money laundering and terrorism. The court's verdict is expected Feb. 26.

According to the Brotherhood, 3,245 members of their organization were arrested in 2007.

Where the hell is this woman getting the money to do this stuff?

Hell, I can't afford to pay for one of my favorite hobbies, but this woman can come up with cash to fly around the world and tell country leaders what to do?

I suspect the money for her son's grave headstone has been used up by now.  She's probably funded by codepinko.

Well, if it did, she damn sure didn't use it to buy a headstone nor did she opt for the one provided for free by the DoD.

Shouldn't this Sheehan woman be "home" in San Francisco kissing hands and shaking babies?   Wasn't her latest publicity grab something about getting elected to the House of Representative?  Wasn't it proclaimed to be her new life's dedication?  To unseat the rabid freeper-fundie Nancy Pelosi?   What happened to that?  Is that stupid idea sitting on the shelf beside her forgotten "hunger strike"?

I'm not sure how the stone got there, but nonetheless, there it sits.

It wasn't there for years after Casey's death and if she placed it there, it was only due to the pressure she was receiving from EVERYone.

Casey Austin Sheehan was killed on 04/04/04 (Palm Sunday) by insurgents/terrorists/scum (his mom calls them "freedom fighters") in Sadr City, Iraq. 783 days later, on May 27, 2006, a headstone was finally placed on the grave of SPC Casey Sheehan (1st Battalion, 82nd Field Artillery Regiment, 1st Cavalry Division, Fort Hood, Texas). Before enlisting in the United States Army, Casey was an alter boy in the Catholic church, an Eagle Scout and much, much more. His headstone seems a fitting marker for his resting place, reflecting not only his service to his community and his country, (Bronze Star and Purple Heart) but also his personal interests such as Van Halen, the Boy Scouts of America, Federation and Superman. May he rest in well-deserved peace.

Cindy Sheehan claims that she paid for the headstone, but in fact, just six weeks earlier (46 days to be exact), Crazy Cindy Sheehan even admitted that she didn't want him to have one, saying, "I didn't want to put a TOMBstone on my son's grave," she wrote, capitalizing the letters of the word "tomb."

Maybe his father did it?

Edit:  Nevermind, Snopes got it covered.  The marker was placed there in May of 2006.

The last line of this thing pisses me off to no end.

The headstone was very expensive, Sheehan wrote.  She said that the government should have paid for it because of its responsibility for his death.

Get bent bitch.  The government would have paid for it.

Just one more bit of proof that it's never been about Casey.

GFY, She-hag.

I notice she is in Egypt ranting away. I guess moonbats have learned to stay away from the land of Rachel Corey Pancake Breakfasts.

Surely she must realize that the group she is protesting to set free would have her stoned to death for appearing in public dressed the way she is, and having the nerve to speak out in the streets.

Unless she converts to Islam -- radical fundamentalist Islam, which is a possibility of course.
