Updated Brad Blog coverage of Sheehan' arrest. _________________ Best read at his site. bradblog.com 11:30p ET - Bob Fertik reports: There are 200 protesters standing outside the Capitol Police HQ between 1st and 2nd on D St NE (between Hart SOB and Union Station). They are chanting and demanding Cindy's release. Tell the DC media to cover the protest! He also suggests... Call the White House Comment Line 202-456-1111,1,1 and express your outrage that the mother of a soldier killed in Iraq was arrested for wearing a t-shirt with the number of soldiers killed in Iraq!!!!! 11:49p ET - Village Voice has more on Sheehan's recent arrests, including this evening's. 11:54p ET - CNN's Ed Henry finally corrects their report and confirms it was a T-shirt that was the reason for Sheehan's arrest. He just reported during Anderson Cooper: "She entered the gallery wearing a shirt with some sort of anti-war slogan...they were afraid she was going to do something with it in front of the cameras". What, like wear it? The only opinions allowed in the people's Capitol tonight are George W. Bush's, we guess. Here's another opinion on the "State of the Union" from outside the capitol tonight. 12:05a ET - Police Surround HQ to fend off Protesters... More from Fertik... David Swanson reports by phone on the scene: During the protest in front of the Capitol Police HQ, 2-3 dozen police locked arms and pushed the crowd across the street. A protester named James from World Can't Wait was arrested for chanting "Free Cindy Now" with a megaphone. As the police grabbed the megaphone, they hit a woman protester in the head, but she is ok. They also kicked Aliska from World Can't Wait in the head, and she required treatment in an ambulance before she was released. Cindy is now being taken to the Central Processing Center in Judiciary Square, and the crowd is following her. World Can't Wait is an organization that held a protest near the Reflection Pond on the elipse today, calling for Bush to step down. 12:18a ET - MSNBC now has an online poll on whether the Capitol Police should have arrested Sheehan for wearing a T-shirt.
