I also suggest her arrest was her intent. Otherwise why would she be there knowing that they were going to tell her to move on. Also, it is not like this poor woman is in control of this. She is being used - albeit willingly - by the far far left, who I can assure you has organized a huge campaing for her that involves about a dozen lawyers all earning $250 + per hour.

In the end, I fell sorry for her loss. But, I also feel sorry that she has let these creeps use her like this to get their message out. But, maybe it is her message now as well. In the end, it does not matter because public perception of her, which is all the powers controlling her really care about, is unfavorable.

Interestingly, if she meets with W, what is she going to do, yell at him. If she does, what does that solve? I suggest nothing because she will continue her crusade even after that.

Note - W is an a$$ in general and also for not meeting with her in the beginning of this.

I didn't think that people had a negative view of Sheehan, at least not the majority, I know that some do, but I thought it was just conservatives.

It is illegal for anyone to stop outside of the White House since that idiot was out there with a rifle a few years back. I believe that is what made it illegal - memory is fuzzy.
