Smash has a report from an "infiltrator" at Camp Casey:
There I found a well funded, well orchestrated public relations campaign, run by media professionals complete with the highest quality electronic equipment available. From Satellite trucks and cell phone to wireless computer access, every modern convenience to enhance the ?message? was there?and being used by left wing, socialist and Marxist (self-described) media representatives and Bloggers.Read it all....Everyone had to be on message, and the message was the point of everything?stray from the message and you are out. Even the protesters? signs were monitored less they distract from the message.
Cindy Sheehan spent most of her time huddled with VIPS in and air-conditioned trailer. When she ventured out it was for a scripted and often televised moment. She was always trailed by her media people, and they were quick to keep her on point. During one conversation I had with her I tried to ask her a pointed question about how much time she would actually be on the bus tour to Washington (I had discovered she would only be on the tour for two days, and would be away giving speeches during the rest of the trip?and I wondered if she were being paid for these speeches) Her media person grabbed her arm and led her back to the trailer, and away from me. The message was protected. I was left standing there?alone, and feeling a little less secure about my status at Camp Casey.
