Village Voice: NYPD Unplugs Cindy Sheehan


All morning I've been coming across different news outlets versions of the shutdown of an anti-war rally in NY's Central Park where Cindy Sheehan was the featured speaker. All of them seemed to be pussy-footing around certain questions. They gave conflicting reports, for instance, on whether Mrs. Sheehan had completed her talk, how many people were there, why the police shut down the rally, etc. Until a few minutes ago I had five different accounts that seemed to describe five different events.

Well, I should have known. In fact, I should have remembered. When anti-war sentiment was growing during the late 1960's, there were only one or maybe two sources you could rely on for the truth. "Screw" magazine ceased publishing in 2004, and now exists as a pornographic web site with no connection to its founder, Al Goldstein. So, for the real skinny on this rally thing, we'll go to the other vanguard for truth left over from the '60's and '70's............

This just in from the Village Voice.
