Associated Press | September 16 2004

HAMILTON, N.J. A mother whose son was killed in Iraq has been arrested for protesting during a New Jersey campaign speech by first lady Laura Bush.

The woman was charged with trespassing and later released.

She wore a shirt that read, "President Bush, You Killed my Son" to the New Jersey rally.

Sue Niederer -- of Hopewell, New Jersey -- interrupted Bush's speech demanding to know why her son (Army First Lieutenant Seth Dvorin) had to die. She continued shouting even as Secret Service and local police escorted her out of the event in handcuffs.

The crowd attempted to drown her out with chants of "Four more years."

The first lady continued speaking, praising her husband's record on the economy, health care and the war on terror.
