American anti-war activist, Cindy Sheehan, whose son was killed in Iraq in 2004, has for many years turned her grief to a crusade against U.S. wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. She now has put to question the White House' official version of events surrounding the assassination of al-Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden.

“I am sorry but if you believe the newest death of OBL (Osama bin Laden) you're stupid. Just think to yourself -- they paraded Saddam's dead sons around to prove they were dead - why do you suppose they hastily buried this version of OBL at sea? This lying, murderous Empire can only exist with your brainwashed consent,” she wrote on her facebook page.

Meanwhile, in an interview with MOXNEWS.com she provides more insight why she believes that U.S. government is not telling the truth about the killing of bin Laden.

Mrs. Sheehan criticizes U.S. President Barack Obama for deciding not to release the bin Laden's death photos on the basis that “they don't want to create a backlash.”

Ya they dont exist is why!!!!! (Like the pentagon footage NOT SHOWING A PLANE WHICH IS WHY THEY WONT SHOW THAT!!)

I dispise facebook BUT I APPLAUSE THIS WOMAN FOR SPEAKING OUT!!

So, now you're a Cindy Sheehan fan? In the future when she accuses a Republican of malfeasance again, will she return to being your enemy?

You "despise Facebook"? Why? Are they part of some tin foil hat conspiracy as well? Do you feel threatened by the Agrarian collectivist dogmas of "Farmville"?

Shouldn't this thread be in the conspiracy theories forum?

Cindy Sheehan is a very troubled woman locked into a perpetual state of mourning for her dead son. It's very sad. Her speaking out is what gives her life meaning. She's not fully rational, nor is anyone who ascribes to her views IMHO. Hopefully, she'll find some sort of inner peace sometime soon.

Yet, the left was not above using this very troubled woman as a poster child. That is also very sad.

I knew that was coming. FWIW, I think her opposition to the Iraq War was on a stronger foundation than her views on Bin Laden. That said, I feel sorry for the poor woman and her quixotic nature.

I recall her getting a lot of attention down in Crawford but I don't recall any pol using her as a poster child.

I know I never though much of her activities, I simply wished she world find peace.

What/who is this block of politicians that mirrors the teabaggers on the left?

Understandable though. Her son gave his life fighting an immoral and unnecessary war. Good of her to stand up to those who wasted his life so futilely.
