Organizer For Camp Casey NYC Arrested

While it still isn't clear to me, Cindy Sheehan may have also been arrested. Certainly her mike was muted. It was apparently a permitted event, though it is as this point still a question whether sound was included in the permit. Anti War,
Brad Blog, and the Village Voice all have slightly different accounts of the event timeline and subsequent arrest.
An eyewitness account can be found here including ongoing updates written by other eyewitnesses in the comments.

Cindy urged everyone to go to Washington DC on the 24th of September for a march on Washington. If that was considered the provocation for arrest, then we need to attend the Washington DC rally on Sept 24 in huge numbers, because, to me, the provocation is of a entirely different order, that of the government above the voice of the people, and it's way past time to call them on it.
