During a conference call with reporters Tuesday, Cindy Sheehan told reporters:

Well I believe that my son was killed by the policies of George Bush, you know, that none of those kids should be in Iraq at all…
The person who killed my son, I have no animosity for that person at all. You know, I many Iraqi mothers who have been destroyed by our invasion and occupation which is illegal and immoral what we are doing over there. I have no animosity towards that person.

I’d like to remind you that she said this during a phone call with a group of reporters, and I can’t find a single instance of this remark reported anywhere. Perhaps that’s because, reading the transcript, it becomes evident that the reporters are on Sheehan’s side.

New York Daily News columnist Michael Goodwin agreed, and now the Kansas City Star’s ombudsman is quibbling with his description of the Star correspondent’s remarks. Read the transcript and decide for yourself. (via Romenesko)
