Entrevista a \u00abCindy Sheehan\u00bb:http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Cindy_Sheehan en \u00abDemocracy Now\u00bb:http:\/\/www.democracynow.org\/article.pl?sid=05\/08\/19\/1441251<\/p>\n
AMY GOODMAN: If you get this meeting with President Bush, what will you say to him?
\nCINDY SHEEHAN: I want to ask him what was the noble cause that Casey and the others have died for, because he keeps on saying that they died for a noble cause, and I don’t think a war of aggression against a nation that was no threat to the United States of America is a noble cause. And I\u2019m not going to let him tell me about keeping America safe for freedom and democracy, because he told us before he invaded that it was about weapons of mass destruction and Saddam Hussein with some kind of a link to al Qaeda. And that’s been proven wrong, and it’s been proven wrong consistently, and the Downing Street memos prove that as early as July of 2002, they knew that that was wrong and they had to fabricate the intelligence to fit their policy of invading Iraq. And that means that my son’s murder was premeditated.
\nAMY GOODMAN: Where did your son die?
\nCINDY SHEEHAN: He died in Sadr City, Baghdad, in an ambush on April 4, 2004.
\nAMY GOODMAN: What was his understanding of why he was going there?
\nCINDY SHEEHAN: He thought it was probably for oil, and he didn’t want to go. He didn’t agree that the President was using his troops wisely. And I begged him not to go, and he said, \u201cMom, I have to go. My buddies are going.\u201d And if I had known that, you know, if I had known what was going to happen to him, I think I probably would have tried to force him into Canada or something, but, you know, he was an adult, and he thought it was his duty, and so I was as supportive as I could be. He was only there for five days, though, before he was killed.
\nAMY GOODMAN: There is a major rightwing attack on you led by Bill O’Reilly, the Drudge Report. They call you a traitor. Your response?
\nCINDY SHEEHAN: I believe that it is my right and responsibility as an American to question our government when our government is wrong. I\u2019m not one of the immature patriots who say my country, right or wrong, because my country is wrong now, and my country — the policies of my country are responsible for killing tens of thousands of innocent people, and I won’t stand by and let that happen anymore. And I believe that anybody who tries to tell me that I don’t have the right to say what I\u2019m saying, they’re unpatriotic, they’re un-American, and their attacks are not going to stop me. <\/p><\/blockquote>\nVer:
