Virginia Rodino, 29, a teacher from Washington DC, said that she had travelled from the US for the opportunity to protest. “My demand is for the G8 leaders to leave Scotland,” she said. “These are secret meetings, they are not even formalised, and there is no public participation. They should allow the people to make the decisions that are affecting their lives.”
Asked about the significance of her T-shirt, which bore the message “Insurgent”, she said: “It means I’m in solidarity with the courageous Iraqi resistance.”

Add the word "Traitor" to her resume.
Nutjob would be another description.
You took the words right out of my mouth. Teacher of what? Figures she teaches in D.C. Leftist, find a new home.

does this contemptible puffbag have ANY idea what the "insurgents" would do to her, given a chance?
perhaps she could chain herself to an oil refinery in iraq to protect the assets of iraq.
Hey, Virginia! I support the courageous Americans that give freedom to nutcases like you.
Is she actually in front of students spouting all this BS or just a researcher?
Either way, I believe Maryland taxpayers are paying her wages and that would make me real sick if I lived there.
One gathers that she hopes the "insurgents" would rape her until her head turns around first, and then maybe paddle her bottom.
Get her a burkha, STAT!
She's a little Ward Churchill, and she deserves what she gets.
John F'in coulda used her. She'd have fit right in.
Probably not much interested in golf , either;)
Cancel her passport and refuse to let her back in the country. Let her go to one of the socialist/islamic paradises that her idealized insurrectionist heroes have built.
