Anti-war activist Cindy Sheehan was supposed to watch President Bush's state of the union address from inside the Capitol. Instead, she was arrested just moments before the President arrived. Her offense: her shirt, bearing an anti-war message and other "unlawful conduct," police said. Capitol Police Sgt. Kimberly Schneider said Sheehan had worn a T-shirt with an anti-war slogan to Tuesday night's speech and covered it up until she took her seat. Police warned her that such displays were not allowed in the House chamber, but she did not respond, the spokeswoman said.

Anti-war activist Cindy Sheehan told supporters at a peace forum Saturday that troops would get out of Iraq if millions of U. S. citizens took the simple step that she did outside President Bush's vacation home last summer. "Anybody could do what we did in Crawford, Texas. We just went down and sat down,'' Sheehan told the crowd of several hundred people, with Academy Award-winning actor Sean Penn in the front row. Sheehan, whose 24-year-old soldier son died in Iraq, attracted hundreds of anti-war protesters to her makeshift camp near Bush's ranch in August.

At 8 p. m. , Farris' sister, Shehnaz Hassan, walked out, accompanied by her mother. Clutching a piece of paper, she spoke "Farris currently does not wish to address the media.
