All about my Impatience

Support Cindy - or maybe not

Will Cindy Sheehan return to Camp Casey? I don't know, but from all the reports I avidly read I don't think it matters anymore: not after reading this
Do you?

During a small anti-war demonstration in Pittsburgh, police pepper sprayed and Tasered one woman while another 68-year-old woman was bitten by a police dog. Police spokeswoman Tammy Ewin initially said no pepper spray was used on protesters, but Sgt. Clint Winkler, a supervisor on duty, told The Associated Press he tried to use pepper spray on one woman who would not leave, but it hit her glasses. She was then subdued with a Taser, Winkler said.
So he was aiming for her eyes, was he?

No one paper in Britain seems to accept any of this as Big News. Yet this could eventually topple Bush and his neo-con cabal - or shouldn't I even suggest such a thing.
Suddenly, all because of Cindy Sheehan - and in spite of the Bush/Rove Slander Machine - people in America are publicly taking sides and that has got me wondering. Why the paucity of news reports emanating from the UK Press about Bush v Sheehan stand-off?
It's not just because the UK is much like the US in that there is no evidence of any War Effort; no Falkland or Bosnia effect, no regular Government reports from the Front Line. Oh, for the days of honest, unbiased, reporting. The majority of our Press is just about as timid as the US media when it comes to being straight about anything to do with Iraq, while the British public seems to react to any rare Government statement with the same amount of bored disinterest as my canary, Sarah, would to a used up millet spray.
If the American level of support for Bush's War on Terror has shrunk to 38% I wonder what level of support does that translate into for Mr Blair and his friends?
