- Indeed, there seems to be a lot of oddly sourced stuff suddenly floating around that's being attributed to Sheehan in a bid to discredit her. Two days ago she had to correct the record on Anderson Cooper 360 about some comments being attributed to her:
COOPER: You were also quoted as saying, "My son joined the Army to protect America, not Israel. If you get America out of Iraq and Israel out of Palestine, and you'll stop the terrorism." How responsible do you believe Israel is for the amount of terrorism in the world?
SHEEHAN: I didn't say that.
COOPER: You didn't say that? OK.
SHEEHAN: I didn't say that my son died for Israel. I've never said that. I saw somebody wrote that, and it wasn't my words. Those aren't even words that I would say.
I do believe that the Palestinian issue is a hot issue that needs to be solved, and it needs to be more fair and equitable, but I never said my son died for Israel.
COOPER: OK, I'm glad I asked you that. Because, as you know, there's tons of stuff floating around on the Internet on sites of all political persuasions, so I'm glad we had the opportunity to clear that up.
SHEEHAN: And thank you, because those are not my words. It doesn't even sound like me saying that.

The comments were allegedly made in a letter she wrote to ABC News, which the network has not been able to find in their archives.
