Reuters:

Cindy Sheehan, the anti-war activist whose son was killed in the Iraq war, was arrested with three other protesters in New York on Monday after a rally with women from Iraq.
...
On Monday, she had joined a delegation of women from Iraq at the rally at the United Nations, urging the United Nations to help prevent civil war in Iraq.

About 20 protesters went to the U.S. mission to the United Nations to deliver a petition with 60,000 signatures seeking an end to the war. Nobody from the mission received them so Sheehan and three other American women sat down in front of the building, refused to leave, and were arrested.
...
The Iraqi women plan to deliver a petition to the White House on Wednesday.

Wednesday's headline: "Cindy Sheehan arrested in Washington, D.C."

Isn't there some kind of 3 strikes rule for this nonsense?  At what point does Sheehan's perpetual lawlessness land her in more serious trouble?

Update: The petition in question, entitled "Women Say No to War", is not surprisingly a product of codePink, Sheehan's adopted protest factory which eagerly waves the Murtha/Pelosi-prescribed white flag of cutting, running, and self-loathing.

Women's Call for Peace: An Urgent Appeal

We, the women of the United States, Iraq and women worldwide, have had enough of the senseless war in Iraq and the cruel attacks on civilians around the world. We've buried too many of our loved ones. We've seen too many lives crippled forever by physical and mental wounds.
...
This is not the world we want for ourselves or our children. With fire in our bellies and love in our hearts, we women are rising up - across borders - to unite and demand an end to the bloodshed and the destruction.
...
To move this peace process forward, we are creating a massive movement of women - crossing generations, races, ethnicities, religions, borders and political persuasions. Together, we will pressure our governments, the United Nations, the Arab League, Nobel Peace Prize winners, religious leaders and others in the international community to step forward to help negotiate a political settlement. And in this era of divisive fundamentalisms, we call upon world leaders to join us in spreading the fundamental values of love for the human family and for our precious planet.

Update: Petition pusher and codePink coordinator Rae Abileah celebrates her and her Iraqi traveling companions' "invasion" of New York.

Elsewhere:  GOP and the City suggests a new mantra.
