Fort Worth Star-Telegram: Sheehan buys plot in Crawford with son’s insurance money

As President Bush prepares to spend some vacation time at his ranch here, not all is peaceful within the peace movement that has doggedly criticized his war policies for the past year.

The Gold Star Families for Peace says on its Web site that its members will again flock to Crawford in August to protest Bush’s wartime decisions. Leader Cindy Sheehan is again demanding to meet with the president — a replay of a year ago — garnering worldwide attention and making Sheehan, the mother of a fallen soldier, the most familiar face of anti-war protesters.

But Sheehan and Mark Mattlage, owner of the 1-acre property where protesters have been allowed to gather, have had a falling out over scheduling and increased costs for liability insurance.

So, Sheehan has purchased a 5-acre plot in Crawford, saying she did so with some of the insurance money she received after her son, Casey Sheehan, was killed in Iraq.

How pathetic and Sheehan has refused to buy a headstone for her son, Casey’s grave.

It is all about Cindy…….
