Her son reenlisted but you wouldn't know it from this AP story.

***[AP]........Her 24-year-old son, Casey, was killed in Sadr City, Iraq, in April 2004 just five days after he arrived. Two months later, Sheehan was among grieving military family members who met with Bush at Fort Lewis, near Seattle, Wash.

Using her son's life insurance money, Sheehan has traveled around the country protesting Bush and the war, including at an October fundraising visit by Bush to St. Petersburg.

She said various government and independent commission reports have disputed the Bush administration's claims that Saddam Hussein had mass-killing chemical and biological weapons - a main justification for the March 2003 invasion.

On Wednesday, a coalition of antiwar groups in Washington called on Bush to speak with Sheehan.

"Cindy Sheehan has become the Rosa Parks of the antiwar movement," said the Rev. Lennox Yearwood, leader of the Hip Hop Caucus, an activist group. "She's tired, fed up and she's not going to take it anymore, and so now we stand with her."

Some veterans and relatives of those killed have called Sheehan's vigil a distraction and continue to support the U.S. military action in Iraq...........
