Protesters arrested - Metropolitan - The Washington Times, America's Newspaper

Protesters arrested - Metropolitan - The Washington Times, America's Newspaper: "'This is in the tradition of civil resistance, a dramatic way to demand that the Bush administration end the war in Iraq and bring the troops home now,' said Bill Dobbs, a spokesman for United for Peace and Justice, a national anti-war coalition that sponsored the protest at the White House.
Mrs. Sheehan, 48, was the first protester to be taken into custody. She smiled as officers carried her by the arms to a police vehicle. As police arrested her, protesters chanted, 'The whole world is watching.'
Others arrested included Princeton professor and activist Cornel West and religious leaders from across the country. "
