What a contrast: the incredible quiet dignity and pride of Christina Schmid at her fallen husband's funeral service today and in her selfless support for other victims' families versus the spinelessness shown by those indulging in the political blame game at the Iraq Inquiry.

I don’t know how they managed to squeeze their massive egos into the same recording booth, or even into the same bandwidth, but Cindy Sheehan interviewed Adam Kokesh this weekend on her show “Cindy Sheehan’s Soapbox”.
