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 havent been over to DUmmieville in a while and this time Im glad I did. I was just about to puke till I read this.
">> just great
now we look bad i think.
thanks.
i hope shes happy, she could have made a difference by going in and protesting silently.

if she did something outrageous to get arrested, im mad.


hate me if you want for saying that, but things are getting bad and we need action not stunts. <<

We do not know why Cindy Sheehan was arrested. You are really speculating. Who's side are you on anyway?"

I dare say that member just got banned.

Anyone know which Democratic Congress member invited her?

Representative Lynn Woolsey, Democrat from the California Sixth Congressional District.

I compare today's DUmmies with the Nazis of the later 30's; there's not much difference.
