Mom Has Stroke; Sheehan Leaves Camp

Cindy Sheehan, right, leaving Camp Casey with her sister, DeDe Miller, to return to California on Thursday after learning of their mother’s stroke. Sheehan vowed the anti-war demonstration outside President Bush’s ranch in Crawford, Texas, would go on. “I’ll be back as soon as possible if it’s possible,” she said. The camp, named for her soldier son who died in Iraq, has grown to more than 100 people, including other relatives of soldiers killed.
