Reports from eye-witnesses are now emerging on the net here<\/a>, here<\/a> and here<\/a>…that a “Camp Casey” Peace Rally in NYC was broken up earlier today by police just as Cindy Sheehan was beginning to speak. Unclear whether she was arrested or not at this time… <\/p>\n

Photos of the rally, the aftermath and police posted here…<\/a><\/p>\n

The Village Voice<\/i> now has the full story<\/a> described as “City’s Finest pulls move even Bush wouldn’t have tried.”<\/p>\n

The rally in NYC was “one of 200 hundred in 28 states over 21 days,” according to Reuters<\/a>. Sheehan is working her way with other anti-war activists towards Washington, D.C. where a massive anti-war rally<\/a> is scheduled to be held this weekend in front of the White House and on the mall.<\/p>\n

The site of her original stand in Crawford, Texas, where she requested a meeting with George W. Bush to inquire about the “noble cause” he says that her son Casey died for in Iraq, was recently plundered<\/a> and all remaining memorial crosses — and Casey Sheehan’s boots, which sat next to his cross — were stolen in the middle of the night.<\/p>\n

UPDATE 9\/20\/05:<\/b> AP covers to the story<\/a> to report that NYC police stopped Sheehan’s speech and arrested the organizer of the event on the charge of “using a loudspeaker without a permit.” Yup.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
