American citizen Medea Benjamin, a leader of the anti-American group Code Pink, announced in Amman, Jordan this week that Code Pink, it's parent group Global Exchange and Families for Peace have donated $600,000 in aid to the 'other side' in the terrorist haven city of Fallujah in Iraq.
This news, which has been ignored by the media worldwide, was reported by Agence France Press but was picked up by only two small news outlets:
"I don't know of any other case in history in which the parents of fallen soldiers collected medicine ... for the families of the 'other side'," said Medea Benjamin, the founding director of Global Exchange, a human rights group.
"It is a reflection of a growing movement in the United States ... opposed to the unjust nature of this war," she said.
"This is the positive face of the American people which we would like to show ... so that we are not looked at with animosity but with love. Our hearts go out to the people of Fallujah and to all the Iraqi people," she said.
Medea Benjamin and those working with her, opposed the liberation of the people of Iraq from the brutal reign of Saddam Hussein. They call themselves human rights activists, yet they support the worst human rights violators in the world from Fidel Castro to the terrorists in Fallujah.
With American troops in harm's way in Fallujah, Medea Benjamin's proud admission that she and her cohorts are giving aid to the 'other side' should be grounds for her arrest for treason.
Code Pink along with their anti-American friends International ANSWER--whose leader Ramsey Clark is one of Saddam Hussein's defense lawyers--will be protesting President Bush at his Inaugural Parade on January 20, using permits issued by the U.S. government.

I saw David Horowitz try to debate this woman. She's hopeless.

LOL
Great find, great post Bump!
I totally agree that this group should be brought up on charges of treason. I remember that a couple of members of the Code Pink group managed to get into the GOP Convention where they created a scene while President Bush was giving the party's acceptance speech. When the President became aware of the disruption, fear passed across his face. All the members of this group should be exiled from the country that gives them their freedom and liberty, or they should be put away for the rest of their natural lives. They clearly have no right to enjoy the freedom and liberty that this country gives them.
Ping to their plans.
bttt
It did not. He looked mildly amused as many of us noted on the LIVE THREAD at the time it happened.
Sad. There once was a day when this sort of thing would carry a much-deserved prison sentence at the very least. Now treason is treated as untouchable freedom of expression.
I can't find beans on it about what their tax-exempt status is, even on their donor page, or who their donors are.
I agree with you. But if I had any influence in Washington, I'd make it mandatory that so called pacifists deliver all aid and comfort IN PERSON or not at all.
Pray for W and Our Troops
Don't be insensitive!
One word: hanging
I think they should go all the way and physically join them in the fight. That way the problem can be dealt with over in Iraq, where they will meet justice swiftly.
Shouldn`t there be an "O" after that K on her shirt?
