Is Cindy Sheehan To Be Arrested ?

Surely even King George is THIS stupid. I have come across two reports now saying that Cindy Sheehan has been notified that if she has not left the site of her protest at the Bush (hideout) ranch by Thursday she will be arrested as a "security threat". The first word of this comes from a post at Daily Kos, and now there is yet another report on this at Dying To Preserve Lies. This is credible report, as it comes from David Swanson of afterdowningstreet.org. Cindy stays in contact with him. Right now the afterdowningstreet.org and the new meetwithcindy.org sites are down. David posted to Daily Kos the news update since DK has such a wide reading audience. Cindy Sheehan to Be Arrested Thursday by David Swanson Mon Aug 8th, 2005 at 10:55:39 PDT Cindy Sheehan phoned me from Texas a few minutes ago to say that she's been informed that beginning Thursday, she and her companions will be considered a threat to national security and will be arrested. Coincidentally, Thursday is the day that Rice and Rumsfeld visit the ranch, and Friday is a fundraiser event for the haves and the have mores. Cindy said that she and others plan to be arrested. http://www.meetwithcindy.org Now I don't know if this is legitimate or not and I am continuing to dig for details. I went to the site mentioned in the post, meetwithcindy.org, and there is NO mention of an impending arrest there so I would urge everyone to use just a touch of caution when reading this report. If you read the comments in the dKos post, there is talk of everything from a march on Crawford, to lining up legal help, to outright skepticism. Personally, I cannot believe even Bush or his handlers would be this stupid. Can you imagine the PR nightmare this would create? I do have a couple of theories IF THIS IS TRUE however. To me this sounds like a typical Rove trick. Get everyone all worked up, have a mass of people show up in Crawford and start protesting, and then 1.) Start arresting people saying they were out of control thereby smearing Cindy Sheehan or 2.) While the crowd is all there Bush makes a grand appearance and invite her in for a meeting. The smear campaign has already started thanks to the administrations personal mouthpiece Matt Drudge so theory #1 get's my vote. Seriously, if Rove would sink so low as to jeopradize the security of the country by leaking a CIA operative's name, he wouldn't even give a second thought to one woman who disagrees with the chimp and his war. By doing this, they can point their collective fingers at her and her supporters and say the protest was "out of control" and a danger to the President, the same as they did wherever there was a protest during the campaign or his social security tour. One other point that would back this theory. It was reported in the NYT that Bush is scheduled to attend a fundraiser just down the road from where Cindy is located and his motorcade will have to drive by her to get there. I give you these theories only on the possibility that the report is true. Personally I still can't see it happening.
