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.

David Swanson's diary :: ::
NOTE: CODE PINK is reporting that the idea of Thursday arrests started with
speculation, not a threat from authorities. I am unable to confirm or deny
that. Meanwhile, I have a voice message from Cindy saying that they left their
spot on the side of the road because of a storm and now the Sherrif's men are
trying to post no trespassing signs and force them to leave. I am unable to
confirm or deny this or provide any more details. UPDATE: I got Cindy on the phone
and she continued to maintain that the threat of arrest was real, but said
that it came to her via Diane Wilson. I spoke to Diane, who said that it came
from Texas State Rep Lon Burman, a Democrat. She said that he was not speaking on
behalf of or communicating any information from the Bush Administration or
the Secret Service or the Sheriff's Department. But she maintained that what he
had predicted was already starting. Both Sheehan and Wilson said that the
County Sherrif's deputies on Saturday identified several areas as county property
on which they could stand. Now they claim that most of these area are private
property, and that they had not known that. So, this afternoon the deputies
forced Cindy and about 25 people with her onto one small area on one side of a
road. Wilson said that they threatened arrest if anyone refused to move to the
proper small area. Cindy was skeptical of the claims about who owned the land.
"Can you believe that on the road to the President's house they don't know
exactly who owns it?" Both she and Wilson said they expected they would get
arrested Thursday. Cindy said, "I think we need as many people here on Thursday
anyway, because Rice and Rumsfeld will be here....I'd rather not get arrested,
but I'm willing to, I'm willing to have them pick me up and carry me away."

Mr. President, There's Someone Waiting, and Waiting, to See You

Mrs. Sheehan has vowed to camp out on the spot until Mr Bush agrees to see her, even if it means spending all August under a broiling sun beside a dusty road.
Cindy Sheehan, co-founder of Gold Star Families for Peace and mother of U.S. soldier who was slain in Iraq, called for President Bush on Saturday, Aug. 6, to return all troops in Iraq to the United States immediately. Although she failed to meet with Bush face-to-face at his Crawford-area ranch, Sheehan did speak with two of the president's aides. She still vowed to remain in Crawford to meet with the President.

Cindy Sheehan spent the night in her tent beside the road last night and has spent the morning on the telephone in the Peace House being interviewed by the media. Right now she is there alone.
She seems to be doing well, but looks tired.
License plates from other states are seen throughout downtown Crawford as business appears to be booming. The Coffee Station is crowded.
