Statement from Cindy Sheehan on the Indictment and Resignation of Lewis 'Scooter' Libby October 28, 2005:
"While the indictment and resignation of Lewis 'Scooter' Libby is a welcome development but, the
responsibility for lying to the American people and targeting critics
and dissidents needs to go all the way up the chain of command. Scooter Libby was clearly one of the administration's attack dogs unleashed on opponents of this fraudulent war, but he serves higher masters.
This administration continues to wage a war based on lies, a war that
has taken the lives of 2,000 Americans, including my son, and the lives
of tens of thousands of innocent Iraqis. This indictment reinforces the
growing calls in this country and around the world to end the
occupation, bring our troops home and hold
those responsible accountable for their crimes. Let this serve as a
springboard to put the war on trial and bring our troops home now."
