Cindy Sheehan

Antiwar activist Cindy Sheehan defied a U.S. ban on travel to communist Cuba and flew to Havana to join protesters demanding the closure of the Guantanamo prison camp for terrorism suspects. Sheehan and four other American peace activists arrived in Havana and will join 10 others on a march to the U.S. naval base in eastern Cuba where about 395 suspected Al Qaeda and Taliban fighters are being held.

Cindy Sheehan, who became the nation's most visible Iraq war protester when she camped out near President Bush's ranch in the summer of 2005, returned here Friday to, she said, get "in his face" again. Bush is spending the weekend at the ranch with First Lady Laura Bush and his parents, former President George H.W. Bush and Barbara Bush. In his weekly radio address today, the president plans to talk about the sacrifices made by U.S. troops who are away from their families during holidays.

Cindy Sheehan, the soldier's mother who galvanized an antiwar movement with her protests outside President Bush's ranch near Crawford, said she's had enough. "I've been wondering why I'm killing myself and wondering why the Democrats caved in to George Bush," Sheehan told the Associated Press. In what she described as a "resignation letter," Sheehan wrote in her Internet diary on the Daily Kos blog: "Good-bye America ...

Cindy Sheehan will sell her war protest site near President Bush's ranch to Los Angeles radio talk show host Bree Walker, who will preserve it as a peace memorial and keep it open to protesters. Sheehan, who announced on Memorial Day that she was stepping down as the face of the antiwar movement, will sell the 5-acre site in Crawford, Texas, for $87,000, Sheehan spokeswoman Tiffany Burns said.

Cindy Sheehan will return to her protest site near President Bush's ranch in Crawford this weekend to bid farewell to the peace movement -- but not with an antiwar rally. Instead, Sheehan will sell some camping items, gather with friends from previous demonstrations and celebrate her 50th birthday in Crawford, about 100 miles south of Fort Worth. Then she will hand over the deed of her 5-acre lot to its new owner, radio talk-show host Bree Walker.

Antiwar activist Cindy Sheehan and 45 fellow protesters were arrested at the Capitol for disorderly conduct in demanding the impeachment of President Bush. Sheehan was taken into custody in Rep. John Conyers Jr.'s office, where she had spent an hour imploring him to launch impeachment proceedings against Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney. Conyers (D-Mich.) is chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, where any impeachment effort would have to begin.

Antiwar activist Cindy Sheehan, who gained international fame by camping outside President Bush's Texas ranch to protest the war in Iraq, announced Thursday that she would challenge House Speaker Nancy Pelosi for her seat in Congress. "The country is ripe for a change," said Sheehan, citing her son's death in Iraq in 2004 as inspiration for her long-shot bid to unseat the first female speaker in history.

The chairman called it the most important hearing of the year. The president touted it for months. But when the moment finally came for the top commander in Iraq -- with his four stars and nine rows of ribbons -- to tell the world how the war was going, the microphone broke. Probably not the picture Congress wanted to portray to a skeptical nation. If Washington can't conduct a hearing, how can it conduct a war? "Somebody please fix the mike. Are we fixed yet? Come on!" Rep. Ike Skelton (D-Mo.

Iraq war protester Cindy Sheehan announced Thursday that she would not run against U.S. Sen. Dianne Feinstein, sparing the Democratic incumbent a high-profile challenger in the June primary. At a news conference in San Francisco, Sheehan sharply criticized Feinstein for voting to authorize President Bush to invade Iraq. Sheehan, whose son Casey was killed in the war, said Feinstein's votes to spend money on military operations in Iraq had allowed Bush "to prolong the murder and the mayhem."

Cindy Sheehan, who drew international attention when she camped outside President Bush's ranch to protest the Iraq war, was arrested in New York along with three other women. Women Say No to War, which helped organize the protest, said Sheehan and the others were arrested while trying to deliver a petition to the U.S. Mission to the United Nations with more than 60,000 signatures urging the "withdrawal of all troops and all foreign fighters from Iraq."
