Thanks for the heads up!

[Txsleuth]

During this commerical, I turned my headphone radio to Air America to see if they were talking about Cindy..

They aren't but the woman host just said that there are 2 convicted felons working in the White House --- even though they were pardoned...

Do you know who she is referring to?

[Mo1]

I don't have any idea

[Mo1]

Could be this

Yes, yes, I know, deputy national security adviser Elliot Abrams was not only indicted but convicted for Iran-Contra. But he was also pardoned.)

[Txsleuth]

Okay---I forgot about Eliot Abrams...

who would the 2nd one be? I read the article you linked, and didn't see a name, even though Iran-Contra was brought up.

[processing please hold]

She is getting on my last nerve.

Good luck in prison, Cindy.

Amen to both.

[processing please hold]

It's Monday. I always started everyone of my diets on Monday. Looks like she is ready to go on a diet anyway and just using this encase she loses a few pounds.

Baloney.

[deport]

Admiral John Poindexter was there for a while doing some kind of computer/internet security work, wasn't he? I think he moved on in 2003.

[Txsleuth]

That picture of Diane Wilson----she NEEDS to go on a hunger strike...

BTW, I bet it is hotter than hades in that tent at night!

Cindy was on a local radio show here in Dallas this afternoon, and she cannot make a coherent sentence...she just kind of rambles...and then when she realizes she isn't making sense, she says, "I have had so many interviews today, I am tired. Maybe we should reschedule this for another day."

The talk show host asked her if she was going to stay until the end of August, and she said, "Yes, unless President Bush comes out and tells me why he killed my son"...so, I guess she will be there awhile....

[Txsleuth]

A little while after I posted what she said about convicted felons in the White House, she started talking about Ollie North...

surely she doesn't consider him a part of this White House?

I don't know what he had to do with anything, but she was talking about him like he was a born-again Christian idiot, that went around acting like he never did "anything wrong"...and then she had a hateful laugh...

[deport]

BTW, I bet it is hotter than hades in that tent at night!

---

Yep, even a battery powered fan would be of little help.

[eddie willers]

LOL....

I kept hearing her repeatedly on Drudge Radio last night.

I was going to scream if she said "dident" one more time!

[im4given]

Now this really urks me. she is saying Bush killed her son. When i served my time no one forced me to enlist and it was a volunteer army. nothing has changed since then. It was her son's choice to join the military. when you enlist you make the choice of being sent to war and giving your life for this country. i bet if he were alive today he would be ashamed of his mother . what a disgrace to this country.

[kcvl]

Excuse me for doubting her but she is already a prove liar. Besides, law enforcement doesn't usually announce the day before that they are going to arrest you before they do it. DUH!!!

[kcvl]

My guess is that she is planning to do something really stupid on Thursday to get herself arrested. Then she can say "See, they are out to get me".

EXACTLY!

The Global Exchange Human Rights Awards - 2004

Also honored was Diane Wilson of Code Pink and UnReasonable Women. Wilson is a shrimper from a tiny gulf town in Texas. When industrial factories near her shrimping grounds polluted the bay, she saw her livelihood disappear. She fought back with hunger strikes, and organized other women to rise up against polluters who were endangering the health of everyone in their hometown of Seadrift. Then she found out about the Bhopal disaster. She learned that Dow Chemical, one of the major pollutants in her community, had bought-out Union Carbide, the company responsible for the 1984 explosion in India that has taken the lives of tens of thousands.

Realizing Bhopals struggle for justice was the same as her own, she planned a 30-day hunger strike at the Dow company plant at Seadrift. By the time Diane completed her fast and climbed the tower at the plant, the press was waiting. She has since infiltrated Congress to unfurl a banner saying "Let the Inspections Work!" behind Donald Rumsfeld as he testified about the "necessity" of invading Iraq and fearlessly participated in countless Code Pink actions against the war.

The gripping true story of one woman’s fight to save her town and her way of life from deadly industrial chemicals. Diane Wilson, fourth-generation shrimp-boat captain and mother of five, proves that one “ordinary” woman can force a giant chemical company to change its ways. When Wilson learns that she lives in the most polluted county in the United States, she launches a campaign against a multi-billion-dollar corporation that has been covering up spills, silencing workers, flouting the EPA, and dumping lethal ethylene dichloride and vinyl chloride into the bays along her beloved Texas Gulf Coast.

In an epic tale of bravery, Wilson takes her fight to the courts, to the gates of the chemical plant, and to the halls of power in Austin. Along the way she meets with scorn, bribery, character assassination, and even death threats. Finally, Wilson realizes that she must break the law to win justice: she resorts to nonviolent disobedience, direct action, and debilitating hunger strikes.

An Unreasonable Woman is a page-turner to rival stories like Erin Brockovich, Silkwood, and The China Syndrome. Wilson’s vivid South Texas dialogue resides somewhere between Alice Walker and William Faulkner, and her dazzling prose brings to mind the magical realism of Gabriel Garcia Marquez, replete with dreams and prophesies.

Director(s): Ilana Trachtman
Running Time: 7:33 min

I'm just a normal person, Diane Wilson says at the outset of this anything-but-normal story of community versus corporation. Through a hunger strike and a relentless campaign before the local legislature, Wilson forced Formosa Plastics and other polluters on the Bay of San Antonio to clean up their act.

Environment main focus of emotional discussion

By Jessica Weisbrot
Collegian Staff Writer

At a speech downtown last night, an environmental activist discussed the influence one individual can make fighting for a cause.

About 40 people assembled in the general room of the State College Borough Municipal Building, 243 S. Allen St., to hear environmental activist Diane Wilson's accounts of her personal triumphs and failures while fighting a battle against pollution caused from corporations around the globe.

The World Affairs Forum, sponsored by the International Hospitality Council as part of its Community Outreach Program, invited Wilson to share her past 15 years of experience as an activist.
