Iraq war protester Sheehan arrested
Protest near White House aimed at refocusing attention on conflict
WASHINGTON - Cindy Sheehan, the California woman who has used her son’s death in Iraq to spur the antiwar movement, was arrested Monday while protesting outside the White House.
Sheehan and several dozen other protesters sat down on the sidewalk after marching along the pedestrian walkway on Pennsylvania Avenue. Police warned them three times that they were breaking the law by failing to move along, then began making arrests.
Sheehan, 48, was the first taken into custody. She stood up and was handcuffed, then led to a police vehicle while protesters chanted, “The whole world is watching.”

Just because people arent being gassed doesn't mean what is being done is correct. It's like saying, sure they're getting their fingers cut off, but atleast they dont get their whole hand removed like in xXXx country. "Sure, they're getting thrown in jail for days w/o charges and/or trial, but atleast they're not shot on the spot" doesn't sit right with me. So to answer Jinn NO i don't think any of this is right and it has to stop immediately.
