Medea Benjamin is one of the two women who interrupted a prewar Congressional hearing by screaming "inspections, not war," got arrested and hauled off, and made the front page of I believe the NYT and LAT the next day.

I wonder if the deceased was the other one. I'm thinking she was, but will research.

Sadly enough i know the name Medea Benjamin. In a civilized society her name shouldn't become so well known.

SAN FRANCISCO -- A Green Party candidate for U.S. Senate and two of her aides were arrested by San Francisco police Monday night at a Democratic rally as they clamored at the stage for a chance to speak.

Medea Benjamin; her campaign manager, Jane Brashares; and fund-raiser Marla Ruzicka were arrested for investigation of trespassing and resisting arrest at the Delancy Street Town Hall, which is private property, said police Lt. Louis Cassanego.

Cassanego said the women attempted to get onstage and yelled during speeches. They were released less than an hour later>>>> From left: Rita Lasar, Kelly Campbell, Eva Rupp, *Marla Ruzicka, *Medea Benjamin, Derrill Bodley, Jacquie Soohen.

Who Is Marla Ruzicka? (the source of the "Afghani civilian deaths" tale...Drudge headline)
