"War protester Cindy Sheehan has dropped her lawsuit challenging county camping and parking bans near President Bush's Crawford ranch," the AP reports. Fort Worth attorney David Broiles, who represents Sheehan's group, asked to withdraw the lawsuit because two war protesters are appealing their recent conviction in a related case. "We will get a resolution faster" by addressing the county bans in that appeal, he said Wednesday. Sheehan couldn't miss the opportunity to surrender. Good excuse though. Clear lesson in anti-war movement rhetoric: Never explicitly say "surrender," use terms like "phased redeployment" or "get a resolution faster through other means" instead.
