Mother's vigil protest against Iraq war

The mother of a United States soldier killed in Iraq says her vigil outside President George W. Bush's ranch is a protest against the use of her son's death to justify the Iraq war.

"I don't want him to justify my son's honourable sacrifice to continue his murderous killing policies," said Cindy Sheehan.

She has been demanding to see Bush and make him aware of the suffering the war has brought to Iraq.

Her son, Casey, was killed in Sadr City, Baghdad, in April last year.
