Des Moines, Iowa (AHN) -- Four people were arrested Friday for attempting to make a citizen's arrest on Karl Rove.

The group of three Catholic workers and a retired Methodist minister and Peace and Justice Advocate were cited for trespassing and released after trying to enter the Wakonda Country Club in Des Moines where Rove was scheduled to speak at a Republican Fundraiser.

The tragedy here is that the criminals were only cited for trespassing. Trying to attack Karl Rove is nearly the same thing as trying to attack George Bush. The citation should be for treason.

[Stanley Burrell]

That is frickin' awesome.

[Khariz]

Just WOW.

Trying to attack Karl Rove is nearly the same thing as trying to attack George Bush. The citation should be for treason.

I'm going to regret this... but...

Why is an attack on Rove an attack on Bush?

Is this similiar to "an attack on the king's men is an attack on the king himself?"

[Tsa`ah]

Too bad they weren't bright enough to get him going in or leaving .... and then let him feel the consequences of resisting.

That set of pics would have been priceless.

[bluesmith]

Umm...yeah....this was hardly an attack. Rove's culpability on the deceit that got us into war is a lot less than many others...but he's out in public a lot more so he's an easier target for the fringe that thinks we can prosecute this domestically.

Go Iowa!

Too bad they weren't bright enough to get him going in or leaving .... and then let him feel the consequences of resisting.

1) They're left-wing nutjobs...what'd you expect?
2) The consequences of him resisting? The leader is 80. Rove has security. Nice call though.

[Keller]

The leader is 80.

You say that as if 80 year olds can't be buff . . . .

[NocturnalRob]

Bahahaha...nice.

[crb]

Eh... not treason...but people who use violent acts in protest or as a way to further political goals, are no better than terrorists, one would claim they are terrorists. If I was the judge I'd throw the book at them to make a point.
