Sounds like you've gone through the coverage pretty thoroughly. So let's say you are right. Cindy Sheehan is outside the White House sitting on the sidewalk. This violates her permit. You arrest her and provide her with the opportunity to look like a martyr. Or you do nothing and the story goes away. Which is smarter? I am assuming here that she wasn't actually climbing the fence or doing anything else that could be construed as a threat. As it is, she gets even *more* coverage when this thing goes to trial. Unless the feds get smart and refuse to prosecute.
