The mothers of two fallen soldiers, and the mothers of two soldiers currently serving in Iraq, were arrested today outside the White House when they refused to leave the west gate. Despite the pouring rain, dozens of people, including five veterans, gathered to support the Gold Star mothers and asked the police why they were arresting the mothers instead of the war criminals on the other side of the gate.
Cindy Sheehan, Nancy Nahei, Mikal Hutto, and Rebbeca (last name witheld by request) were arrested. As Cindy Sheehan was about to get arrested she yelled towards the White House: "This isn't a rodeo George, this is real life. You really killed my son. This is real."
