TWO WOMEN ARRESTED FOR DISRUPTING CONGRESS YESTERDAY

by Independent Reporter (IndependentReporter [at] hotmail.com)
Two members of Code Pink a PreEmptive Strike for Peace were arrested yesterday (Oct. 10th) for disrupting Congress right before the vote on authorization to use force against Iraq.
The women, Sarah Turner and Elene ????, stood up before the vote and shouted "THE AMERICAN PEOPLE DON'T WANT WAR!", "WE NEED MONEY FOR EDUCATION AND HEALTHCARE!", and "NO BLOOD FOR OIL!" The women were immediately grabbed by security, hancuffed, and marched out of the US Capitol. They were held for five hours and released on citation.
