I'm very angry about CBS not Airing Cindy Sheehan's ad. Their reason for not airing is this.
CBS Affiliate Will Not Air Sheehan Ad Because There Is "No Proof" Of Absence Of WMD In Iraq...
This is very bad people. The news media is willing to cover up for the President. This means any person running in congress who challanges the President may have ads pulled because Bush is almighty now.

Sheehan "claims the President lied about, among other things, the presence of weapons of mass destruction in Iraq," said Jeff Anderson the Vice President of sales at Fisher Broadcasting Inc., which owns KBCI (CBS). "There is no proof that we are aware of regarding the truthfulness of her claim. We require proof of claims such as this. Until that is provided, our station will not carry this ad."
Boise, Idaho affiliates CBS and FOX have refused to air a television ad in which Cindy Sheehan asks President Bush questions about the Iraq war.
So lets look at the facts. What do we have?

This will be the conclusion of the Iraq Survey Group's interim report, the source told the presenter of BBC television's Daily Politics show, Andrew Neil.
Downing Street branded the story "speculation about an unfinished draft of an interim report".
Mr Neil said the draft report - which the source said is due to be published next month - concludes that it is highly unlikely that weapons of mass destruction were shipped out of the country to places like Syria before the US-led war on Iraq.
That was 2003 and none were found. Does this count as proof. Gee I wonder maybe we need more.

Duelfer said Wednesday his teams found no evidence of a mobile biological weapons capability.
The U.S. official said he believes Saddam decided to give up his weapons in 1991, but tried to conceal his nuclear and biological programs for as long as possible. Then in 1995, when his son-in-law Hussain Kamal defected with information about the programs, he gave those up, too.
Iraq's nuclear program, which in 1991 was well-advanced, "was decaying" by 2001, the official said, to the point where Iraq was -- if it even could restart the program -- "many years from a bomb."
Uh oh I think the President lied about the WMD in Iraq. Wasn't there also a video of President Bush making fun of the search for WMD? Is it true that we also gave up for the search of WMD's in Iraq?

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- U.S. inspectors have ended their search for weapons of mass destruction in Iraq in recent weeks, a U.S. intelligence official told CNN.
How much proof do these networks need?
