My opinion of Sheehan dropped considerably after she appeared with Chavez. "I'm pissed off because my son died in your war" is an understandable position that a lot of people identify with. "I'm hanging out with a foreign government because they've taken an anti-american stance and I think thats cool" is not understandable. She now really is the left wing nut that the right wing nuts accused her of being all along.

Nevertheless, I don't think she should have been arrestted for wearing a t-shirt. If they didn't want her there they should have just un-invited her.
