Cindy on U.K. T.V.

[tjwmason]

Newsnight, B.B.C.2's flagship evening news discussion programme covers three issues during its 50 minutes slot. Their daily e-mail for today states that the second will be on Cindy Sheehan.

This is the short blurb from the message:

IRAQ PROTEST

We've a special profile of Cindy Sheehan whose son Casey was killed in
Iraq last year. Mrs Sheehan is now staging a protest by camping out at
George W. Bush's ranch in Texas, demanding to meet the president.

But even as Mrs Sheehan becomes a kind of celebrity in the United
States, does her grief give her any special moral authority in this
matter? What of the many other relatives of those killed in Iraq -
including some in Mrs Sheehan's own family - who mourn their war dead
but accept that serving soldiers in combat in an all volunteer army may,
sometimes, be killed?

How damaging could the anti-war movement growing up around her be for
President Bush? I'll be talking to Mrs Sheehan in person.

The programe begins at 10:30, U.K. time. For more information, and for a web-cast live, or on-demand for a day after broadcast - http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/programmes/newsnight/default.stm
