SHE'S BAAACK – AT 11:05 A.M. ET:  Remember Cindy Sheehan, queen of the "anti-war" activists during the Bush administration?  She's back for Act II, but her nostalgia for those good-old BUSH (!!) years continues.  From AP:

LANGLEY, Virginia — 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.

Huh?  Cheney's street?  Do they understand that something happened last January 20th...like an inauguration? 

What outrages me is that people like this are still described by the mainstream media as "anti-war."  They're not anti-war.  They're only against any war that America has a chance of winning.  And they are utterly contemptuous of human rights and democratic principles.  When I see Cindy Sheehan protesting the cutting down of Iran's democracy demonstrators, maybe I'll think a little differently.  Until then, I'll hold my position.
