Cindy Sheehan and perhaps as many as several dozen other anti-war protesters have been arrested while protesting outside the White House. After marching along the pedestrian walkway on Pennsylvania Avenue, they sat down on the sidewalk, at which point they were warned by police several times that they were in violation of the law and would be arrested if they did not move. When they refused, police began making arrests, taking Sheehan into custody first as protesters chanted, “The whole world is watching.”

This follows on the heels of the march and rally which took place this weekend in DC, more information about which can be found here and here.
