Cindy has an article in our Sunday Editorial Section!
Big article in the bottom left corner, wrapped around a picture of her holding Casey's cross and looking past the camera.

The article is titled, "Why I'm camping out in Crawford, Texas."

It says it was written for the Progressive Media Project in Madison.

Have people seen this piece?

http://www.jsonline.com/news/editorials/aug05/348021.asp

"I will never, ever forget the night of April 4, 2004, when I found out that my son Casey had been killed in Iraq.

I will also never forget the day when we buried my sweet boy, my oldest son. If I live to be a very old lady and forget everything else, I will never forget when the general handed me the folded flag that had lain on Casey's coffin, as his brother and sisters, standing behind me, sobbed.

I think of Casey every day as I wait outside President Bush's ranch in Crawford, Texas, determined to meet with him.

I want to let the president know that I feel he recklessly endangered the life of my son by sending our troops to attack and occupy a country that was no imminent threat to the United States."

1. The dreaded self-kick
Not of interest? I thought it was spiffy, myself.

2. That's great that they're printing this.
I'm starting to notice the press opening up a little bit. Not a huge amount, but some.

I'm so encouraged by these developments.

3. Well, our paper is noted for being somewhat liberal
but still, I was surprised, pleasantly surprised.
