I'm willing to bet that, as I said before, "someone" just wanted Sheehan out of the building, period and instructed the police to make it happen.
I'd find that very easy to believe, given the way all of President Bush's campaign speeches were set up -- ticketed guests only. It was a really good job by the Bush/GOP folks to sanitize the crowds from any kind of opposition. Very well done as a PR tool.

In fact, the Republicans won the PR battle during the election hands down.

Getting back on topic, though, even if Sheehan's actions were crass, she would seem to have been denied her Constitutional right to make her comment in a government/public building by government police. I would think that would violate here rights. Any of your lawyers have another read on that?

The same goes, of course, for the Representative's wife -- who might also have been a little crass.
