Rush Limbaugh says Casey Sheehan's "story is nothing more than forged documents - there's nothing about it that's real."

Maybe you can blame it on to much nose candy Rush! Just for you, Here are the facts and they are not forged!

Specialist Casey Sheehan was both literally and figuratively an Eagle Scout: a church group leader and honor student whose desire to serve his country drove him to enlist before 9/11, in 2000. He died with six other soldiers on a rescue mission in Sadr City on April 4, 2004, at the age of 24, the week after four American security workers had been mutilated in Fallujah and two weeks after he arrived in Iraq. This was almost a year after the president had declared the end of "major combat operations" from the aircraft carrier Abraham Lincoln.

According to the account of the battle by John F. Burns of The New York Times, the insurgents who slaughtered Sheehan and his cohort were militiamen loyal to Muqtada al-Sadr, the anti-American Shiite cleric.
