It has been a while, so please bear with me:
Peace activist Cindy Sheehan has canceled a trip to Paris and other European cities because of injuries she allegedly sustained a week ago while being arrested in New York, organizers said Monday.
“We had to cancel Cindy’s trip because her doctor said she was not fit to travel,” said Elsa Rassbach, of American Voices Abroad, one of the groups that organized the trip. She cited an arm injury and possible concussion.
Sheehan, who gained international attention when she camped outside President Bush’s Texas ranch to protest the war in Iraq, was to visit Paris on Monday, then travel to Strasbourg, France, to meet members of the European Parliament, and go on to two German cities.
A pacifist group in the United States, Women Say No to War, had claimed that Sheehan was physically assaulted by security officers during the March 6 arrests following a march to the U.S. mission of the United Nations.
I was jonesing to see what the Grieving Mother® was up to. Consider this an open flame war thread, something I have missed.
