Issue: Sheehan to leave Texas: Anti-war activist going to L.A. to be with mother who just had stroke/NBC News.

DFO: Cindy Sheehan is one of the true tragic figures of the Iraq war. She has lost everything that a person could hold dear: her son, her husband (through pending divorce), mebbe her family (through alienation), and now her mother's in bad shape. She's been used (by the anti-war crowd) and abused (by the anti-anti-war crowd). I feel sorry for her.

Question: What's going to be the fallout from Cindy Sheehan's vigil? (Please stick to the issue and be civil rather than seeing this as a green flag to launch into pro-administration or anti-war rhetoric.)
