Two Minnesota moms at the forefront of the anti-Iraq war movement, one of whom recently lost a son in the fighting, are flying to Crawford, Texas, on Thursday to join Californian Cindy Sheehan's expanding, and increasingly controversial, protest near President Bush's ranch.

State Sen. Becky Lourey, whose son, Matt, was killed piloting an Army helicopter earlier this year, and FBI whistleblower Coleen Rowley, a recently declared DFL candidate for Congress who spoke out early against invading Iraq, said they will join the stakeout at "Camp Casey" -- named in memory of Army Specialist Casey Sheehan, 24, who was killed more than a year ago.

The Sheehan vigil is becoming a lightning rod and rallying point for opposition to the war, Lourey and Rowley said, while a Republican state leader described Sheehan's expanding vigil as a media circus.

Sen. Lourey: "I just want to go down there and tell her that her voice is necessary and that she is doing it for the right reasons," Lourey said. "I'm doing it as Matt's mother but also because I'm upset by our country. I'm an American, I'm a patriot, I love the Army, but I don't like what our country and our commander-in-chief are doing."

Coleen is a very cool lady, I'm glad she's running for Congress.
