Families and vets go to Crawford for answers

From AfterDowningStreet.org:
-----
Cindy Sheehan, Co-Founder of Gold Star Families for Peace, and mother of a soldier killed in action in Iraq, plans to confront President Bush with questions at his Crawford ranch on Saturday morning, August 6, 11 a.m. CT. Accompanying Sheehan will be members of Veteran's for Peace (VFP), Military Families Speak Out (MFSO), Iraq Veterans Against the War (IVAW), CODE PINK, and Crawford Peace House.

[...]

Sheehan said today that she plans to stay "until we are arrested or satisfied with the answers."

[...]

Diane Wilson, Co-founder of the women's peace group CodePink, Wilson is a Texan now on her way to Crawford. She said today: "I totally sympathize with Cindy. The Army tried to recruit my autistic son. They tried to get my daughter to join too, they led her to believe she would be joining the Coast Guard when it was actually the Army."

The media are already in Crawford, dutifully covering Bush's vacation. They'll cover Bush's golf outings, fishing trips, and photo ops. But I'm not betting that they'll cover this.
