WASHINGTON -- At Cindy Sheehan's side since Aug. 6 when she began her antiwar protest outside President Bush's Texas ranch have been three groups that openly support the Iraqi insurgency against U.S. troops: Code Pink-Women For Peace, United for Peace & Justice, and Veterans For Peace.
Those organizations were represented at a mock "war crimes" trial in Istanbul that on June 27 produced a joint declaration backing the insurgency. Based on the United Nations Charter, it said "the popular national resistance to the occupation is legitimate and justified. It deserves the support of people everywhere who care for justice and freedom."
The Istanbul statement also rejected U.S. efforts to leave behind a democratic government in Iraq, asserting: "Any law or institution created under the aegis of occupation is devoid of both legal and moral authority."
Cindy's Friend Coleen
Minnesota Republican leaders could not stop smiling when they learned that former FBI whistleblower Coleen Rowley, running for Congress as a Democrat, was joining war protester Cindy Sheehan's demonstration.
Republicans were silent but delighted that Rowley would align with extreme antiwar demonstrators backing Sheehan. Rowley became a national hero when she revealed that her warnings about Sept. 11 terrorists were disregarded within the FBI. Since announcing her candidacy against second-term Republican Rep. John Kline, she has become an intense war critic.
Rowley was accompanied to Texas by Democratic State Sen. Becky Lourey, whose son was killed in Iraq. Like Sheehan, Lourey opposed the war before she lost her son.

Satan and his hellish hordes are here allies. (metaphorically speaking)
The problem these anti-American groups have is that the people there may actually be free...proving Bush's program correct, and further thwarting their anti-liberty agenda around the world. That's what is really the issue.
Hah! Wonder if Novak's been lurking on FR. There were several threads covering her associations here, posted a few days ago.
If my memory is correct, some of the quotes posted here included something about an elected government in Iraq being "illegitimate"--if I'm wrong I'm sure someone will correct me.
"Based on the United Nations Charter, it said "the popular national resistance to the occupation is legitimate and justified. It deserves the support of people everywhere who care for justice and freedom."
Okay, now I think it's time for these people to be locked up.
Cindy Sheehan (may her name be blotted out forever) supports the insurgents who killed her son.
That says all you need to know about this wretched woman.
How can you support people that noone can identify? That is just nuts. Who can argue that Jordanian Zarkawi should say what goes in Iraq?
They're fighting against Bush, that's all it takes for the Sheehans to support the enemy.
Hi, Cindy Sheehan, America Hater...
DAMN GLAD TO MEET YOU!!!

I had heard nothing of this "war tribunal" thing, funny how it ended just before this circus started.
I know where they are, check the list of "endorsers" at this site
Red Dawn.
A banner and slogan from the site, it's meaning escapes me.
Just when I think nothing else will surprise me...
You didn't know about this? We use the findings as counters at the FReeps. There was a thread on FR in July, IIRC, about this "tribunal"
I admit it. Sometimes I miss "important" news. Please ping me.
Is the DC Chapter going to do any FReeping of the ABC Radio Station and 630 WMAL for firing Michael Graham for speaking the TRUTH? This is the WRONG direction for this Country to be going and there needs to be HUGE repercussions against this station and ABC/Disney and the advertisers!
