CODEPINK wants an apology

Who wants an apology now?

CODEPINK,
"a women-initiated grassroots peace and social justice movement working to end the war in Iraq, stop new wars, and redirect our resources into healthcare, education and other life-affirming activities", from the California Highway Patrol, for arresting 10 pinkers on New Year's Eve:

SAN FRANCISCO - CODEPINK today said it is asking the CHP to drop the charges, apologize to those arrested, and to acknowledge the public's right to walk across the bridge after 10 CODEPINKers were arrested on New Year's Day at the Golden Gate Bridge as part of a vigil for the 3,000 US servicemen and women killed in Iraq and for the hundreds of thousands of Iraqis who have died since the US invasion and occupation.
