Anti-war activist Cindy Sheehan is ignoring an appeal by wives and mothers of imprisoned Cuban political dissidents for her to visit Cuban prisons during her trip this week to protest the treatment of suspected terrorists held at Guantanamo Bay.In other words, we’re only concerned about the humane treatment of America’s enemies; the rest of you schmucks can hang.
The Damas de Blanco, or Ladies in White, who march silently through the streets of Havana every Sunday in protest at the incarceration of political prisoners of the Castro regime, wrote a letter to Ms. Sheehan inviting her to visit Cuban prisons.
The leader of Ms. Sheehan's trip, Medea Benjamin, said the American activists had not seen the letter and that they would be focusing solely on Guantanamo.
"It just so happens that this is where the [Guantanamo] prisoners are," Ms. Benjamin said. That the group is visiting Cuba, where prisons define daily life for many, is "very incidental," she added.

Human rights, yeah pig’s bum it is
Most of us would know by now that ratbags like Cindy Sheehan are just America-haters, anything America does is bad, they believe the world’s problem could all be solved if only America would just surrender. Most of the MSM just give these windbags a free pass because; ultimately anyone giving the Bush administration a hard time is a good thing. You would have heard by now that this windbag will be assisting the trade winds from outside Gitmo’s gates, whining and carping on about the inhumane treatment of the terrorists inside. Not terribly interested in the treatment of other prisoners though.
