Thought police, next installment

Apparently Cindy Sheehan got invited to last night's State of the Union speech by a congresswoman, and then was arrested because of her t-shirt, which referred to the number of war dead.

"It stunned me because I didn't know in America you could be arrested for wearing a T-shirt with a slogan on it,'' Woolsey said. "That's especially so in the Capitol and in the House of Representatives, which is the people's House.''

We really know how to put on a heartening show for the world, don't we?

Update: Will Bunch is not amused by this, gives some historical background, and suggests a civil action. Rouse that rabble, man!
