"The officers made a good faith, but mistaken effort to enforce an old unwritten interpretation of the prohibitions about demonstrating in the Capitol,” Capitol Police Chief Terrance Gainer said in a statement late Wednesday, referring to the arrest of Cindy Sheehan and the ejection of a congressman's wife for also wearing a tee shirt with a slogan on it. Whatever happened to 'free speech' and taking the consequences of exercising that right?
Would the public reaction have been negative towards Shhehan if she did try to disrupt the speech? I suspect it would have. This incident seems to have been a mistake for the administration.
