Cindy's Gone (for Now)
Oh, shoot. There's nothing to be done or said about it: her mom had a stroke, and Cindy and her sister have accordingly left Camp Casey.
Sheehan, whose vigil has drawn attention to her demands for the withdrawal of troops from Iraq, said she plans to fly to Los Angeles to assess the situation and hoped to return in the next 24 hours.Best of luck to you, Cindy. Take care of business and come back when you can.
Sheehan's 24-year-old son, Casey, was killed in combat in Iraq. She said supporters, sometimes numbering in the hundreds, will remain at the camp in her absence.
