The photo Cindy Sheehan did not want the world to see: President Bush plants a consoling kiss on the cheek of grieving antiwar protester Cindy Sheehan last year at Fort Lewis, Washington.
Mrs. Sheehan is staging a protest vigil in Crawford, Texas demanding a second meeting with President Bush to demand an explanation for why her son, Army Spc. Casey Sheehan, was killed in Iraq a year ago April.
The photo of the president consoling Mrs. Sheehan, and a companion photo from the meeting, used to be hosted on Mrs. Sheehan's tribute site to her son. The site, called Casey's Peace Page also contains information about Mrs. Sheehan's antiwar and anti-Bush activities.
However, the photos were removed some time ago, but the hosting page and captions were left there until this week when they were removed along with a copy of the now-controversial Vacaville Reporter article, after that article which contradicts Mrs. Sheehan's current account of her meeting with the president was publicized by the Drudge Report.
The images were found in Google's image cache by Freeper Hipaatwo.

You need to read this.
The Google thumbnail has been preseved off-Google. BTW, Yahoo already scrubbed it from their cache.
Kind of hard to keep the old "grieving mother" propaganda line going when you know the facts.
If you lost a child, you might feel differently.
I thought I was cynical, some of you people make me seem down right optimistic.
We are the Pajaminators! Resistance is futile!
It isn't that she changed her mind, it's that she's trying to make it seem like he's refused to meet her.
Does anybody have access to the print edition of the Vacaville Reporter?
They probably printed photos of the meeting in their original story on her, though they did not have any on the archived reprint of the original piece.
Which one is Sheethead?

Here's the page source code in case this too disappears. Because of the way FR works, it's going to partially render, but the photos are missing. I've saved the original in any case. Note she also met McCain.
They are:

They have obviously been removed from the web page. The active link shows the broken images.
They seem to be dismantling the web site as off now.
Link to Cindy's letter. Please pass on to all the "Tolerate" who want to make exucses for Ms Sheean

No, she lied. Through her teeth
so she said she never met him?
That is her placing her face forward so that the President can kiss her cheek???
How you doin', tallhappy? Hope you realized I was joking on the last thread we both posted to.
Problem is, with the thumbnails being so small, she could deny it all day. I understand the full size photo's are no longer available.
Someone said when they met a year ago she came away saying good things about the President. THAT is the stuff wee need to dig up. THAT is the stuff that will show that she is using her "grief" for publicity.
