Cindy Sheehan writes about her arrest.
From Reuters/Yahoo:
The Capitol Police also hassled a Congressman's wife who was wearing a pro-troop tee-shirt. She said she called the cops idiots. There's too little respect for authority these days.
I told him (One of the police where she was booked.) that my son died there. That's when the enormity of my loss hit me. I have lost my son. I have lost my First Amendment rights. I have lost the country that I love. Where did America go? I started crying in pain.What did Casey die for? What did the 2,244 other brave young Americans die for? What are tens of thousands of them over there in harm's way for still? For this? I can't even wear a shirt that has the number of troops on it that George Bush and his arrogant and ignorant policies are responsible for killing.
