How are you so certain that Cindy doesn't believe exactly what she is saying? Where is your evidence for manipulation? She was saying the same things long, long before the national media paid any attention to her. She's been on this crusade for many months and so single-minded about it as to be irritating at times! But now that it's in the news and she's getting lots of support, you imagine that she's some poor pawn, a victim not of the people who rushed to war, but those who oppose it? Could that be any more backwards? Have you seen the rest of story about how she and Pat had strong misgivings about meeting Bush because they disagreed so strongly with the war? Did you know that her son joined to be a chaplain's assistant, not a combatant? How convenient for those with conservative views to paint Cindy as weak and able to be manipulated, rather than as an intelligent, articulate, obsessive crusader against this war.
