Updates on Cindy Sheehan Visit to Crawford. [View All]

The Lone-Star Iconclast newspaper is live blogging Cindy's arrival at the gates of the Crawford Ranch. Here's the latest article:

When Cindy Sheehan got off her bus in Crawford around 11:40 a.m., she was greeted with applause and swarmed by reporters. Some of the meda covering the event, along with The Iconoclast, were ABC, CNN, CBS, and AFP (French form of AP).One man carrying a sign, Allen Goodwin from South Florida, commented that he is for peace, "but Bush isn't." His sign reads "Somebody lied."

Currently, a bus provided by Veterans for Peace is taking about a dozen members, including Cindy Sheehan, to the checkpoint in front of President Bush's ranch. Sheriff's Department Captain Kenneth Vanek said prior to departing to lead the caravan, "As long as y'all work with us, we'll work with y'all."

Following the bus is a train of automobiles, numbering about 15.Sheehan said she is prepared to go to jail if necesssary, but is expecting a peaceful confrontation.The McLennan County Sheriff's Department is acting as the escort to the checkpoint.

With the arrival of Sheehan's bus, there were at least 50 people present, from Code Pink Austin, Veterans for Peace, Vietnam Veterans Against the War, Iraqi Veterans Against the War, and Gold Star Families for Peace, which is Sheehan's group.Among those present, rumors of pro-war, anti-protest protestors perhaps arriving later were voiced.In all, about a dozen law enforcement officers were on the scene near the Peace House. No Secret Service personnel had been identified. More later.
