Cindy Sheehan Leaves Crawford

HeadlineAug 19, 2005

We turn now to Crawford, Texas. Antiwar protester Cindy Sheehan left the site where she has camped out since President Bush began his 5-week vacation 2 weeks ago. Sheehan said her mother had suffered a stroke and that she was heading to Los Angeles to be with her. Almost immediately after Sheehan made the announcement, other parents of soldiers killed in Iraq said they would continue the protest at the makeshift campsite, called “Camp Casey.” We will go directly to Amy Goodman, who is in Crawford, in just a moment.
