1. Peter Werbe just said Cindy was arrested

Peter Werbe subbing for Mike Malloy on Air America just mentioned both Cindy and Medea were also at the Venezuela forum and that tomorrow will be Women's day where both these two will be taking part.

He mentioned that Cindy was arrested outside the UN.

3. Az,

a little part of me hopes they keep them in jail- because
this would be a tipping point for a lot of people.
We could all do civil resistance this week perhaps
sitting in at our local reps office and not leaving until
she is freed or we get arrested in mass numbers.

I'm sending positive energy their way, and yours.

4. Do you think they are still in jail??

I am very worried!!!

5. I'm concerned too, but the strength of those two

courageous women cannot be denied, or taken away.
The government knows they risk big trouble
if they are harmed. I've checked out the code pink
coordinators site and there is nothing posted, no
one's sending emails. I've only been on the board
since starting the Cape Cod site a month ago, but
it seems strange there is no communication. I left
a message, we/ll see what happens. I hear anything
you will be the first to know.

I fucking hate Bolton, Bush, the whole lot of them!

Lets stay strong for our women
One way or another, we will prevail

6. from a truthout update:

We are five hours behind here, hope this is not old info for you.
From Truthout:http://www.truthout.org/docs_2006/030606R.shtml
Steve Kent from Democracy Now! has provided us with the following update:

Here is an update on the arrest of Cindy Sheehan and three other activists at the UN today when they attempted to deliver a petition with 72,000 signatures organized by womensaynotowar.org to the United States mission. The four are being held now at Police Service Area 4, 8th Street and Avenue C, on their way to the DA's office. They are to be charged with resisting arrest. Sheehan is apparently rather injured from the arrest, according to Rev. Patti Ackerman, who just called from custody, with a wrenched arm and bruises on her torso and head from being dropped on the pavement. After initially telling the activists they could deliver the petitions to a receptionist at the US Mission, where they had an appointment to do so, the New York police cited a change of plan from "higher up" and moved in to prevent the delivery and arrest the activists. In addition to rough handling of Ms. Sheehan, one of the Iraqi women with the group was punched in the stomach. This according to Rev. Ackerman on the phone. One broadcast producer with whom I spoke who saw footage of the incident said the police were "particularly nasty" in their handling of the women.
