Sheehan Detained By Capital Police
From Fox News, and the AP Cindy Sheehan was invited to attend the State of the Union Address by Lynn Woolsey (D-Ca), but was detained by Capital Police when she tried to unfurl some sort of banner in the chambers, which is against the rules.
I'm heartbroken, but will post more when I find it.

Yahoo! News say's she was arrested.
WaPo has a few AP links.
Wigderson Library & Pub gives us a look at her banner.

Released? Rats!
It's people like her that made it so very hard for many of us in the 60's and 70's. Being treated like criminals just for serving your country was hard to take. Shame on her.
Happy to hear she was finally arrested. Not happy to hear she was released!
I was sorry to see her released, too. Unfortunately it was basically a "ticket and go" offense.
Mike, you are right, it was her ilk that caused such problems then.
I ran across Cindy Sheehan's own account of what happened and it's 100 percent different from what I've seen reported in the media. I am confused by the reports of banners, shouting, and refusing which never took place.

Who do we believe?
Intendedfink- I'll take the police's word on it.
Obfuscation-expressive conduct that convey[s] a message supporting or opposing a
point of view or has the intent, effect or propensity to attract a crowd of onlookers,
Wearing her t-shirt in plain view is "expressive" of a point of view, no different than carrying a sign.
Released!! Even the police did not want her!! (LOL) Cindy got just what she wanted...and smiling all along the way. They should have taken her to a mental hospital in a straight jacket.
BTW, I linked to you on this post. (smiling)
crazy politico - I'm not surprised. Unfortunately for you, though, the charges have been dropped and the police now admit they screwed up.
You should have listened to Cindy. :)

IntendedFink-As soon as Cindy admits Casey re-enlisted voluntarily during a war, and volunteered for the mission that he died on, I might listen to her.
Of course she'd also have to quit hanging around with communists and socialists (read the ANSWER! manifesto, it's in my archives), and actually make sense on something.
It was nice to see the cops admit a mistake. But I'll still take their word over hers EVERY day of the week and twice on Sunday.
