From WorldNetDaily:
Cindy Sheehan, the California woman who became an anti-war activist after her son was killed in Iraq, was arrested today during a protest in front of the White House.
Sheehan, 48, was with several dozen demonstrators who sat down on the sidewalk after marching on Pennsylvania Avenue.
Police, who took Sheehan into custody first, made arrests after warning the protesters three times they were breaking the law by failing to move along, the Associated Press reported.
As police led Sheehan to a vehicle, protesters chanted, "The whole world is watching."
The Vacaville, Calif., woman, whose son Casey was killed fighting insurgents in Iraq, launched an anti-war movement last month when she camped outside Bush's Crawford, Texas, ranch and demanded to meet with the president, drawing national media attention.
The demonstration today, organized by the umbrella group United for Peace and Justice, drew several hundred demonstrators who marched around the White House chanting, "Stop the war now!"
On its website, United for Peace and Justice calls itself an "anti-American, anti-war coalition consisting of more than 800 local and national groups" that is co-chaired by "committed Socialist and longtime activist Leslie Cagan."
