The crowd, which had earlier swarmed around Sheehan in support, booed the police vans meant to hold detainees and chanted "The whole world's watching" as arrests proceeded.

Those arrested were charged by the U.S. Park Police with demonstrating without a permit, a misdemeanor that carries a $50 fine.

...

Inside the White House, presidential spokesman Scott McClellan parried questions about the protest going on just beyond the gates.

Bush is "very much aware of the people here who have come to Washington, D.C., some to express support for the steps that we're taking and a number of others that have expressed a different view," McClellan said. "It's the right of the American people to peacefully express their views."

...why was Cindy arrested? Cause they didn't have a permit? Or so they say? Bullshit......

7. i'm very aware that a 100 people gathered here to agree with us

and that a 1000x that number gathered to express the opposite view.

and that NPR gave each side equal air time.

4. I hope she doesn't pay the fine. Like the first woman to vote

in the US never paid the fine.

8. WH thugs would've been smarter

to send out the word NOT to arrest her.

9. I'm wondering why they didn't.

Surely it's no secret this was coming. But it's also no surprise Rove will enjoy seeing Cindy's perp walk.
