(Via Powerline) Cindy Sheehan is now overseas marching for the Egyptian branch of the Muslim Brotherhood.

Anti-war activist Cindy Sheehan joined a protest Wednesday seeking the support of Egypt’s first lady in ending a military trial of members of the country’s largest Islamic organization.

Under the watchful eyes of dozens of black-clad and helmeted anti-riot police, some 50 heavily veiled wives and children of 40 senior members of the Muslim Brotherhood detained for the past year, gathered in front of the headquarters of first lady Suzanne Mubarak’s National Council Women carrying banners calling for their release.

I still can’t decide whether I feel sorry for this woman or if I just think she’s an idiot. Her son supported the war effort he sacrificed his life for, so she doesn’t get to hide behind that. Many on the left have dissassociated themselves from her already, but how close to actual terrorists is she going to have to come before being completely blacked out in the U.S. media? How extreme can she go before the ‘grieving mother’ attachment no longer washes with the public?
