Reuters Additional Information

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Police at the U.S. Capitol arrested anti-war activist Cindy Sheehan on Tuesday, shortly before President Bush was to give his annual State of the Union speech, a police spokeswoman said.

The spokeswoman, Capitol Police Sgt. Kimberly Schneider, said she had no immediate details.

Sheehan had been invited to be a guest at the address to a joint session of Congress by U.S. Rep. Lynn Woolsey, a California Democrat.

Sheehan, who became a central figure for the U.S. anti-war movement after her soldier son Casey was killed in the Iraq war, won wide attention with an anti-war vigil outside Bush's Texas ranch.

CNN said Sheehan was arrested after unveiling a banner and was being held on Capitol Hill for about an hour, which would keep her away from the address, which was set to start at 9 p.m. EST.

Sheehan and other activists were arrested in September for protesting outside the White House without a permit, a misdemeanor that carriers a $50 fine.

I wonder if she was trying to bring something in that she wasn't supposed to, or if she is on some kind of watch-list from her previous arrests.

She was invited to the state of the union address by some democratic congresswomen and got arrested for reasons unknown. Seems she was causing a fuss.

She's used up any martyrdom she might have ever possessed. She's just a pathetic joke.

Is this true? Details!! Please!

It IS being reported on CNN, so take that for what it's worth, but it sounds like the Capitol Hill Police were interested in finding her the minute they found out she was in town and going to attend the SOTU.

"Seems she was causing a fuss."

In other news, the sun rose in the East this morning, and water continues to flow downhill...

I had a cute reply all ready to post, but chickened out.... along the lines of "Napkin User" and Cindy "I don't use those things" Sheehan.

I'm known here for my couth, after all, so I didn't pull the trigger....

My guess: she tried to crash Alito's swearing in, probably bearing a "gift" from her buddy Chavez.

A good reason? How about giving aid and comfort to the enemy?

She's starting to remind me of "Weekend at Bernie's Cindy's. She's dead but everyone drags her around and acts like she's not.
