Charges Dropped Against Sheehan, Congressman's Wife
Feb 1st - 9:19pm
WASHINGTON (AP) - U-S Capitol police have dropped charges against anti-war activist Cindy Sheehan, who was removed from the House gallery before President bush's State of the Union address for wearing a T-shirt opposing the War in Iraq.
Capitol Police Chief Terrance Gainer has apologized to Sheehan, and to Beverly Young, the wife of Florida Republican Congressman Bill Young. She was also removed form the gallery but not charged, for wearing a T-shirt urging support for U-S troops.
Gainer says his officers made mistakes in their efforts to enforce unwritten rules prohibiting demonstrating in the Capitol.
