| 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." |

| #7 She hasn't manage to crash a White House Party yet? Does't look rich, doesn't wear designer gowns, didn't go Ivy League and hasn't figured out how to glom a ride with bigwigs. |

| #6 Too fucking bad there wasn't an armed unmanned drone in the sky over Sadr City that day in April. |

| #5 Send her to Pakistan to protest the "drone-zaps" where they happen. Maybe she'll learn a little about the responsibilities of citizenship, and what happens when you don't have either the rights or the means to exercise both rights and responsibility. |

| #4 Cannot frickin' believe what I'm reading... actually taken back by this. I would gladly trade her for an illegal immigrant who speaks no English but out of respect for her son would probably settle for her quiet incarceration in a remote mental health facility. |

| #3 she lost her media-whore limelight when she protested the donks and ran against Pelosi. Apparently she's learned her lesson |

| #2 If 70 loons march in a rally as a statement of support for the enemy, the press covers it. They can't be bothered to cover 3,000 people attending a tea party rally. |

| #1 She hasn't manage to crash a White House Party yet? Or maybe she hasn't heard that Barack Obama is President, now. |
