68. She WANTED to be arrested -
- had she not wanted to be arrested she could have easily stood up and moved aside. She intentionally blocked the entrance so that they WOULD arrest her. The AP reports the following:

"Richard Grenell, the spokesman for the U.S. Mission, said in response to Sheehan's arrest: "We invited her in to discuss her concerns with a U.S. Mission employee. She chose not to come in but to lay down in front of the building and block the entrance. It was clearly designed to be a media stunt, not aimed at rational discussion," Grenell said."
