[Michael Butler]

Sure agree. What a shocker, really disgusting.

> Woolsey Statement regarding Cindy Sheehan
>   By Representative Lynn Woolsey
>   t r u t h o u t | Statement
>   Wednesday 01 February 2006
> 
>   Washington, DC - US Representative Lynn Woolsey (D-Petaluma) today issued
> the following statement regarding Cindy Sheehan's arrest in the gallery of the
> House of Representatives before the State of the Union address. Mrs. Sheehan
> was Rep. Lynn Woolsey's guest to the President's State of the Union address.
> 
>   "Since when is free speech conditional on whether you agree with the
> President? Cindy Sheehan, who gave her own flesh and blood for this disastrous
> war, did not violate any rules of the House of Representatives. She merely
> wore a shirt that highlighted the human cost of the Iraq war and expressed a
> view different than that of the President. Free speech and the First Amendment
> exist to protect dissenting statements like Ms. Sheehan's last night."
> 
>   "Stifling the truth will not blind Americans to the immorality of sending
> young Americans to die in an unnecessary war, against a nation that posed no
> threat to our security. The President's speech last night was yet another
> attempt to distort history, as he suggested - once again - that the 9/11
> terrorists came from Iraq. Everyone knows this is not true. We must not be
> afraid to say that the emperor has no clothes. It's time to bring our troops
> home."
