Cindy Sheehan arrested after protest march



Is THIS how the mother of a soldier killed in Iraq should be treated???

Apparently so, if that mother is protesting the war in Iraq and part of a group trying to get the US Mission to the United Nations to accept a petition 'with more than 60,000 signatures urging the “withdrawal of all troops and all foreign fighters from Iraq.”' (...)

Women Say No to War, which helped organize the march, claimed Sheehan was physically assaulted by security officers during the arrests. Photos show officers dragging Sheehan, with her shirt yanked up. Police said the four women were arrested for criminal trespassing and resisting arrest. Read the rest here.
