A group led by anti-war activist Cindy Sheehan has protested near the CIA's headquarters and former Vice President Dick Cheney's home in northern Virginia.

They were protesting the use of unmanned drone aircraft to attack al-Qaida and Taliban targets.

The group of about 70 people rallied alongside a highway near the CIA compound Saturday. About half then marched to Cheney's nearby street and stayed for 20 minutes. Police kept them from going down his street.

Sheehan's 21-year-old son Casey was killed in Iraq in April 2004. She staged a prolonged demonstration outside former President George W. Bush's ranch near Crawford, Texas, in 2005.

She says using drones is "cowardly" and "immoral

Apparently, Cindy is unaware that a Dem is now Vice-President...

Hey Cindy, get your a** over to Biden’s house!

Perhaps they consider the current resident of One Observatory Circle does not have any authority whatsoever...

Apparently she can’t get any of her lefty friends to protest the people who are actually in power.

Cindy has gone over the edge. She really needs to see a shrink.

Hey, Sheethan. Go protest the WH, you jackass. The Zer0 you voted for is the one expanding the war.

If the IQ of this idiot broke into double-digits, she’d be smart enough to be embarrassed by how stupid she is.

She just craves attention and she can’t get it protesting this administration. She’s hoping if she protests Chaney some cameras will show up. Never seen anyone so starved for attention. Kinda pathetic. Your 15 minutes are up Cindy - deal with it.

She hasn’t gotten any attention from the media attacking Pelosi, Obama, or the Dems regarding the war. She knows her only chance of getting attention with the corrupt media is to trash Cheney or Bush.

An unmanned drone should drop a jdam on her head.

I think I may know why she is protesting to VP Cheney. Maybe if Cheney had used more of those unmanned drones her son may still be alive.

This ought to do it. I bet we will learn that Cheney will resign his VP post.

I think Cindy Sheehan is a loon, and I don't think she knows what she is talking about.

However ... I have a very hard time with the US sending in drones to attack targets in Pakistan. A very. Hard. Time.
