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.

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.

Any freepers catch the CSPAN replay of the meeting that maggief's photo is refering to???
Ramsey Clark, Cindy, and 2 other TOTAL DU WHACK JOBS !!!
If there is a replay somewhere, try to catch it. Their WHOLE agenda from this point forward is to try to impeach GWB. If the congress people they pressure won't help them in their endeavor, they are going to run candidates against them 24/7 until the election.
I caught the replay at about 4am or so this morning.It might not have been covered live due to (THE NEW) Justice on the supreme courts coverage.
My blood pressure is STILL thru the roof from watching it...
I kept getting errors trying to get here. FR shut it down for a while or what?
HAhahahaha! Wish they'd had enough to throw her in with Big Bertha for a few nights.
Then who is liberallarry, and why did he just post an article about "sluggish job growth"?
I think your comments are better served over at DU....Troll?
Only Skinner would know this!
Butter?
Caramel! Mmm, caramel.
Geesh! It's the State of the Union, not Foghat!
DUMMIE LAND IS IN LOCK DOWN!Third funniest thing I've read heard all evening (next to Sheehan being hauled off and certian functions at dKos being 'down for maintenance' for the duration)!
LOL!
Good to see you M.M. Are you on a work furlough?
I hope that Cindy is sentenced to ride in the passenger seat of Ted Kennedy's sedan...

Just checked it out myself. Incredible -- every single one of her positions (not just those concerning the WOT) is straight from the radical wing of DU.
Bummer, she missed the State of the Union.
Go Stillers!
Dummie Land hasn't been having a good week.
At least she was dressed for the occasion! ((barf))
