Last week, Iraq War protester Cindy Sheehan dropped out. She abandoned her post at Camp Casey with an emotional open letter posted on DailyKos.com: "Casey died for a country which cares more about who will be the next American Idol than how many people will be killed in the next few months while Democrats and Republicans play politics with human lives... I failed my boy and that hurts the most." Weekend America's Pat Loeb talks to Sheehan about the anti-war movement, giving up and where to go next.
