NOW on the News | Cindy Sheehan Interview | PBS

In a NOW on the News Web-exclusive audio interview from May 31, Cindy Sheehan tells NOW on PBS Host and Senior Editor David Brancaccio that she plans to rest up, spend time with her family, and then continue her struggle against the Iraqi war.

"We're going to pull back and regroup and figure out a better way to come at this," Sheehan told NOW.

Sheehan - whose son, Army Spc. Casey Sheehan, died in Iraq in 2004 - announced on Memorial Day that she was done being the public face of the movement. "I think my mission, my activism has reached a brick wall," she tells Brancaccio. Sheehan gained national attention when she camped outside President Bush's Texas ranch in August 2005 demanding to talk with the President.

@Christian121y - The war was illegal both because Bush lied to Congress re: reasons, & internationally illegal within our agreements with the rest of the world.

By the way, if you are of any "Christian" religion, & you support USA wars, you are committing an egregious sin against the Ten Commandments of your religion

[Christian121y]

The war was legal.Unless you think UN resolutions and mandates are meaningless the war was not only legal but waiting to happen for quite some time.Genocide IS ILLEGAL.

I predicted Bush would be a failure as soon as he got into office! For a president who cannot pronounce nuclear right is a downright embarrassment!

There were no WMD and his Buddies were crooks so you republicans had better hang it up!

Sheehan is smart, knowledgable and extremely brave. Those who are against her don't have substantive points to back up their objections to her. They just don't read and are going to suffer what their decisions are bringing to all of us. Thanks for bringing her to us, NOW program.
