Sheehan arrested for blocking road
From Times Wire Reports
Peace activist Cindy Sheehan and four other protesters were arrested for blocking a road near President Bush’s ranch, authorities said.
Sheehan and the others lay or sat in the road about 20 minutes and didn’t heed requests to move, Texas Department of Public Safety Lt. R.T. King said.
Sheehan told the Waco Tribune-Herald that she and others were conducting a “peace surge” to address concerns that Bush may increase U.S. troop numbers in Iraq.
