The late terrorist mastermind Abu Musab Zarqawi is doing more than pushing up daisies. He's fasting, too.
Yes, that's Zarqawi -- or at least his ancestral tribal name -- along with his hometown of Zarqa, Jordan, listed on Code Pink's roll of protesters who are "fasting" in hopes that U.S. troops will be withdrawn from Iraq.
And how did the once-notorious terrorist's name wind up on the peace and social justice group's list, among celebrity fasters like the ice-cream-licking Cindy Sheehan?
It was submitted by a merry prankster from the D.C. chapter of FreeRepublic.com, we've learned, a conservative group that for more than a year has done battle with Code Pink every Friday night -- holding dueling demonstrations outside the gates of Walter Reed Army Medical Center.
"To get past the eagle-eyed moderators of the list, his tribal name was submitted: 'Ahmed Fazil Najal-Al-Khalili, Zarka, Jordan,'" the prankster tells Inside the Beltway. "Zarqawi got a head start, beginning his fast 28 days ahead of [Code Pink] -- on the day he died."
Code Pink began its fast on July 4. The campaign is scheduled to end on Sept. 21.

Now that we have our foot in the door media wise on this issue I propose that we have a counter protest. We'll all pig out (on a rotational basis of course) until the treasonous dimwits like Sheehan are brought to justice. Let's call it "Gluttons for Punishment."

She said long-term fasters, including Cindy Sheehan, whose son, Casey, was killed in the war in 2004, have been invited to meet with five members of the Iraqi Parliament in Amman, Jordan. The gathering will be to discuss the peace movement and publicly break their fast with the Iraqi peacemakers."
