ARRESTED PROTESTERS ALLEGE ASSAULT

Cindy Sheehan and three fellow Iraq war protesters have been arrested outside the US Mission to the UN. Naturally, both sides tell different stories:

Women Say No to War, which helped organize the march, claimed Sheehan was physically assaulted by security officers during the arrests. Photos show officers dragging Sheehan, with her shirt yanked up. Police said the four women were arrested for criminal trespassing and resisting arrest.

The women were trying to deliver a petition to the U.S. Mission to the United Nations with more than 60,000 signatures urging the "withdrawal of all troops and all foreign fighters from Iraq." When they arrived at the mission, they found the doors locked.

Richard Grenell, the spokesman for the U.S. Mission, said in response to Sheehan's arrest: "We invited her in to discuss her concerns with a U.S. Mission employee. She chose not to come in but to lay down in front of the building and block the entrance. It was clearly designed to be a media stunt, not aimed at rational discussion," Grenell said.

So, as I've always thought, Sheehan is a stunt c... , er, woman. (Click here for the enlarged Sheehan arrest photo, it's a scream.)
