SNIP:

"Sheehan's T-shirt alluded to the number of soldiers killed in Iraq: "2245 Dead. How many more?" Capitol Police charged her with a misdemeanor for violating the District of Columbia's code against unlawful or disruptive conduct on any part of the Capitol grounds, a law enforcement official said. She was released from custody and flew home Wednesday to Los Angeles.

"Young's shirt had just the opposite message: "Support the Troops — Defending Our Freedom."


WTF?? Honoring our war dead is now the "opposite" of "supporting the troops"? This fucking outrageous spin needs to STOP. There was no contact info for the article, but I imagine an email to AP could suffice. If anyone finds Laurie Kellman's email, please do let me know. God damn it! :grr:
