At the Hill:
Police arrested two anti-torture protesters in front of former Vice President Dick Cheney’s home in McLean, Va. on Saturday.
About 20 protesters from the anti-war group Code Pink, some wearing orange prison in jumpsuits, walked onto Cheney’s property to mark the 14th anniversary of the opening of the Guantanamo Bay prison in Cuba, Reuters reported.
Police asked the group of protesters to leave and all obliged except for two members of the group, who were then arrested on trespassing charges.
Code Pink said Tighe Barry, 57, and Eve Tetaz, 83, were unfairly singled out for arrest.
