Sheehan: End Military Trials For Civilians
Activist Sheehan Comes To Egypt, Calls For End To Military Trials
Joseph Mayton - AHN Middle East Correspondent
Cairo, Egypt (AHN) - American activist Cindy Sheehan was in Egypt on Wednesday to participate in a demonstration protesting the use of military trials against civilians. The famed activist called for Egypt's first lady Suzanne Mubarak to support the eradication of military trials against members of the country's Muslim Brotherhood.
Joined by dozens of wives and children of prominent Brotherhood leaders who have been detained for much of the past year awaiting military tribunal, Sheehan presented a letter to Mrs. Mubarak asking for the government to end these trials.
"I am here to protest the trial of civilians in front of a military tribunal as this is a violation to international law," Sheehan, who gained fame in the U.S. for her sit-in outside American President George W. Bush's Texas ranch after her son was killed in Iraq, said at the demonstration.
"As a mother of a son who was killed in the war, I presented a letter to Ms. Suzanne Mubarak to realize how those women and children are suffering."
Cairo has been in an almost constant state of cracking down on the North African nation's largest opposition group since Parliamentary elections in fall 2005 saw the Brotherhood gain nearly one quarter of the seats. According the Islamic group, over 3,000 members were detained in 2007.

I have been saying all along with this wench that it was never about her son who was killed in Iraq (may he rest in peace) it was about her ego and it remains that way today. She should be embarrassed and so should her family.

Well, in all seriousness, while I disagree with damn near everything he's ever said, and will likely ever say, I think JPC is - generally - in control of his faculties.
However, I think Sheehan is certifiably non-compos mentis.
And this
is for making me say that JPC is sane.

Just what is a civilian in a Guerilla war?
If someone attacks your military and is a part of an organised quasi-military not affiliated with a country perse'--is that person a Civilian?
IMO he is not. Just because he isnt wearing a uniform does not mean he isnt a soldier. As such a person out of uniform comes under the heading of a spy and deserves the death a spy is entitled to.
Cindy Sheehan be damned.
This whole damned bunch in Gitmo should have been tried by the military and those convicted as such executed as spies years ago.
