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.

SHEEHAN [Kathryn Jean Lopez]
A newsroom type shares notes:
This from Sgt. Kimberly Schneider of U-S Capitol Police.... Cindy Sheehan was arrested in the gallery of the house floor tonight and charged with demonstrating in the Capitol--a misdemeanor. ...Sgt. Schneider says she was wearing a T-shirt with a slogan on it and was asked to cover it up. Sheehan did not cover it up and she was arrested. ....She is being processed at Capital Police hd and is expected to be released at some point tonight. The misdemeanor charge carries one year in jail. .."
I don't know about that. Processing takes time, especially if they have to stip search her and give her a decontamination shower. Too bad.
would you search Cindy Sheehan's body for a banner tucked away?
end of story.
She must have tried to bring in her pots and pans to bang like the crazy libs outside.
Last summer, I deemed her as having the first posthumous case of Munchausen's Syndrome by Proxy.
But but but, she's a wannabe senator.
"B-b-but...IT'S ABOUT ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Anti-war, anti-American Rep. Lynn Woolsey - (D-CA)
The Looter guy will post her bail.
Let Jack Bauer interrogate her. "Get me Walt Cummings!"
My bet is on Henry Waxman, Sheila Jackson Lee or Cynthia McKinney.
Hand her skank @$$ over to the Iraqi military.
More appropriately, a brown bag.
Who?
OK, good. She was obviously planning on disrupting the speech.
What a fool and/or hypocrite.
The banner was probably her bra. Who would want to search that?? EWWWWW!!!
What I want to know is how did she get the banner in to begin with? There is no doubt that all guests are searched before being allowed in the chamber. Did the member of congress who got her in sneak the banner to her?
sw
Good question. Didn't we already get assurances today from Cindy/Dem congresswoman that Cindy "wouldn't cause a scene" and be "respectful"?
Oh, wait, they're lie-berals. Never mind.
I love it,please let the whole left side of the aisle walk out in protest;)
Better yet...make Barney Frank do it.
