If you have been watching the news at all recently, then you have heard the name Cindy Sheehan. She is the mother of Casey Sheehan, who was killed on April 4, 2004. Cindy Sheehan has been camped out near President Bush's ranch prostesting the war and demanding to meet with the president. It appears not everyone in the Sheehan family has Cindy's same opinion. The Drudge report is posting a letter that is reported to be from Casey's aunt and godmother. It reads:
Our family has been so distressed by the recent activities of Cindy we are breaking our silence and we have collectively written a statement for release. Feel free to distribute it as you wish. Thanks, Cherie In response to questions regarding the Cindy Sheehan/Crawford Texas issue: Sheehan Family Statement: The Sheehan Family lost our beloved Casey in the Iraq War and we have been silently, respectfully grieving. We do not agree with the political motivations and publicity tactics of Cindy Sheehan. She now appears to be promoting her own personal agenda and notoriety at the the expense of her son's good name and reputation. The rest of the Sheehan Family supports the troops, our country, and our President, silently, with prayer and respect. Sincerely, Casey Sheehan's grandparents, aunts, uncles and numerous cousins.



If this letter proves to be authentic, it will be interesting to see how much of the press will cover it.
