WASHINGTON - Charges against antiwar protester Cindy Sheehan, who was arrested after a scuffle over a T-shirt she wore to the State of the Union address, will be dropped, officials told NBC News Wednesday.

U.S. Capitol Police took Sheehan away in handcuffs and charged her with unlawful conduct, a misdemeanor, when she showed up to President Bush’s address Tuesday night wearing a shirt that read, “2245 Dead. How many more?” — a reference to the number of soldiers killed in Iraq.

But Capitol Police will ask the U.S. attorney's office to drop the charges, NBC News’ Mike Viqueira reported Wednesday.

2. “We screwed up,” a top Capitol Police official said, speaking on condition

of anonymity.

He said Sheehan didn't violate any rules or laws.

Good. Sue their asses, Cindy!

[BurgherHoldtheLies]

3. How many brilliant minds did it take to finally figure it out?

She committed no crime...a first year law student could have told them that...effin idiots!

[OPERATIONMINDCRIME]

4. FUCKING A YES!!!! IT SAYS 'WE SCREWED UP!"

We could not have asked for a better outcome today. To shove this now in all those smug repub faces that were eating her alive today, that she did in fact do nothing wrong!

The nazis just arrested a grieving mother standing up for american values for no reason other than fascist control, and it is now exposed for all to see.

13. My reaction exactly

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[EFerrari]

6. "arrested over a scuffle" ? Geezus, even their retractions

are bullsh!t.

[tabasco]

7. Sheehan should file suit for violation of civil rights.

There was no basis whatsoever to evict her from the speech last night, other than her political views.

She has a solid suit against whoever is responsible.

[dogday]

8. It is going to freaking cost your asses now

I hope she takes your false arrest and sticks it up your collective asses....

[Mayberry Machiavelli]

9. Illegal conduct = "we don't effing like you, hippie"

[BuyingThyme]

10. Damn.

[Jeanette in FL]

11. Woohoo, excellent news

The police must have just announced this because Cindy was just on Randi's show and made no mention of it. She could not have known.

Good for our side.

But they were able to get her out of *'s sight for the night. You know they were told to get her the fuck out of here.

Great news for Cindy.

[TahitiNut]

12. Yes, they did. They violated her Civil Rights! Sue, Cindy!

There was no 'mistake' ... there was a conscious intention to remove her from the gallery under any pretense whatsoever. After all, her mere presence strikes fear into the bowels-for-brains Coward-in-Chief! It'd be interesting to hear from whom the arrest order originated!

[BuyingThyme]

16. Yes, I'm not too sure that dropped charges are so great.

I would have liked to seem them make their fascist case before a judge. That would have given Cindy (and all decent Americans) even more ammunition.

[Glimmer of Hope]

28. I think she can still sue? I think this is still a small victory

for Cindy.

[BuyingThyme]

29. Yes, hopefully she can still get 'em before a judge.

Maybe we can even find out from where the orders came.

[MelissaB]

14. Best. Headline. Ever

I like it when somebody admits a mistake.

[OPERATIONMINDCRIME]

20. MSNBC Wasn't Admiiting the Mistake, The capitol police were.

And Admittance or not I do not like them at all right now, for any reason.

[pdxmom]

15. I fully expected this. The goal was to get Cindy out of the

gallery - by any means. So they took her in, said "oops - sorry." and everything is done.

The goal was accomplished. There won't be any repercussions.

[Spazito]

22. Actually the reprecussions are already very large...

The media is covering the story of Cindy being illegally arrested instead of the topic the bush cabal would have preferred to be covered, bush's SOTU speech.

They know they screwed up royally in more ways than one.

[EFerrari]

24. Except that if this happens often enough, Cindy will become

"that crazy woman" in some fuzzy way in the minds of the sheeple.

I DON'T THINK SO! AND, WHERE'S BIN LADEN, BY THE WAY?

[TahitiNut]

17. Half of Amurika are imbeciles!!

Do you agree with the decision by Capitol Police to remove activist Cindy Sheehan from the gallery at the president's State of the Union speech because she was wearing a T-shirt with an antiwar slogan? * 219,364 responses

Yes, such behavior is not allowed in that setting and is inappropriate. ------------- 50%
No, she was a legitimately invited guest and deserves to have her right to free speech honored. ---- 50%

[EFerrari]

21. Why do we believe that poll?

On one hand, media whoredom got their fakery out way ahead of the truth.

But, what's to prevent them from skewing the results?

:think:

[rpgamerd00d]

23. 50% of Americans "voted" for Bush, right? :sarcasm:

[EFerrari]

26. Silly me, I forgot the Diebold voters!

:silly:

[Rex]

27. They didn't want a camera straying to her shirt during Idiot's Liefest.

They accomplished their goal (keep the truth out of the Senate and away from cameras) and I really hope she sues BUSH, since I have no doubt it was his (meaning Rove) idea.
