SIRATYST

SIRATYST (Stuff I Read and Thought You Should Too) -- “To ravage, to slaughter, to usurp under false titles, they call empire; and where they make a desert, they call it peace.” (Calgacus, as quoted by Tacitus, Agricola 30-31)"

Cindy Sheehan Joins Iraq & New Orleans Vets on March

Still recovering from injuries suffered during a recent protest in New York City, anti-war activist Cindy Sheehan linked up with Gulf Coast peace marchers Thursday to participate in the final leg of their 140-mile trek from Mobile to New Orleans.

More than 200 people are making the trek to protest the war in Iraq and what they believe is the federal government's mismanagement of the Hurricane Katrina recovery along the Gulf Coast.

The march, which began Tuesday in Mobile, includes people from along the Gulf Coast and across the nation. A BBC crew and other news organizations have been documenting the march.

I was going to say that there was no other coverage of the Vets march, but the NYTimes mentions it here:
