Lawsuit Settled From '04 W.Va. Bush Event Arrests

The White House has settled the lawsuit spawned by the arrest of protesters during a 2004 President Bush visit to West Virginia.

The Associated Press has the details from the case of Jeffrey and Nicole Rank. For refusing to cover up anti-Bush T-shirts, the two "were handcuffed, removed from the July 4, 2004, rally at the state Capitol and held in police custody for between one and two hours."

Earlier this year, the lawsuit yielded a heavily censored copy of a White House manual on managing Bush events. The released portions includes detailed instructions on watching for and dealing with agitators.

Others with the story include The Charleston Gazette and WSAZ-TV, which also offers video of interviews with the Ranks.
