CRAWFORD, Texas (AP) _ One of President Bush's neighbors has offered the free use of his land to dozens of war protesters who have camped in roadside ditches the past eleven days.

Fred Mattlage, an Army veteran, said he sympathizes with the demonstrators whose makeshift camp off the winding road leading to Bush's ranch has angered most residents. snip

Cindy Sheehan of Vacaville, California, started the vigil to honor her son Casey, who died in Iraq last year. Sheehan vows to remain through Bush's visit unless he meets with her. Mattlage told the Associated Press tonight that he thinks people should have a right to protest without being harassed.

He says he is against the war.
