The Daily Background

Mega wire service AP apparently agrees with me, when I wrote that details on the Sheehan story were ’sketchy’:

Cindy Sheehan, the mother of a fallen soldier in Iraq who reinvigorated the anti-war movement, was taken into custody by police in the House gallery Tuesday night just before President Bush’s State of the Union address.

Police escorted Sheehan from the visitors’ gallery above the House chamber after causing a disruption, said a Capitol Police official, who spoke on condition of anonymity because details of the incident were sketchy.

Meanwhile, CNN claims she unfurled a banner. Nobody has can confirm or deny this thus far. Another update when I get it.
