Drudge has this letter up on his site from members of Cindy Sheehan's family who object to her actions.
According to Cindy, the attack comes from her in-laws, who have always disagreed with her on politics. She says her father-in-law used to call her Meathead and she would call him Archie, a sort of affectionate antagonism. When the in-laws voted for Bush after Casey was killed in his war, it caused an irreparable rift, and they are no longer speaking. Most relevant, I think, is that Cindy says her husband and her other children support her and agree with her.
Cindy also responds strongly to earlier allegations from Drudge about supposed changes in her account of her family's meeting with Bush last summer.
In typical Drudge style, there are no email headers to give the "Sheehan Family Statement" proper credibility, nor do any of the "Sheehan Family Members" sign their names. How about a little transparency, Drudge? What's the matter? Are you afraid your lies and manipulations won't hold up if you're honest about your sources and your methods?
I must say I also wonder why the Sheehan(s) who sent the letter would send it to Drudge and not to a reputable news outlet.

I’m curious why no “reputable news outlet” is asking Sheehan why she changed her public comments 180 degrees from what she said after meeting President Bush last year.
Sheehan 2004 – “I now know he’s sincere about wanting freedom for the Iraqis. I know he’s sorry and feels some pain for our loss. And I know he’s a man of faith. … That was the gift the president gave us, the gift of happiness, of being together.”
