Pakistan authorities today ordered the deportation of the leader of the feminist U.S. antiwar group Code Pink, who was in Lahore to join protests against the emergency rule imposed by President Pervez Musharraf, according to a spokeswoman for the group.
"I'm OK — a little shaken up," Ms. Benjamin told The Washington Times by telephone from her hotel in Lahore. "They mistreated us."
Ms. Benjamin said she feared for her life as the agents held her at gunpoint in a car speeding through the city to the police station.
"I thought I was going to die in the car," she said. "They totally terrorized us."
Pakistan officials told Ms. Benjamin that she was being deported because she took part in an illegal demonstration, she said.
Ms. Benjamin said at the press club before her arrest. "If they do this to us, who have the protection of being U.S. citizens, imagine what they do to their own citizens."

LOL!
She’s lucky she wasn’t killed.
Being a U.S. citizen does not protect you outside of the U.S. Medea.
“It’s okay, we’re Americans”. - Chevy Chase; Spies Like Us, just before being hung up by their feet.
She almost kill herself. Oh well.
Please deport them to Sudan. We don’t want them.
Let her stay, but turn her over to Al Qaida or the Taliban.
Deport them to Afghanistan.
I’m thinking specifically the mountainous region along the Afghan/Pakistan border.
Dude....? Just where do you think you were, Berkley?
In a perfect world, her experience abroad would be a good lesson on the merits of our system and render her happy (at last) to call herself an American. But.....
I am stunned at the raw ignorance and stupidity of these protestors. I hope none of them tried the bare breasted thing in Pakistan.
I suppose her next foreign trip will be to San Francisco where they love her.
Hopefully, she may understand these countries are not America and she is very fortunate to get out with her life.
Let’s all these dumbasses were shaken as well as stirred.
“who have the protection of being U.S. citizens”
Much dumber than I thought....
“Ms. Benjamin said at the press club before her arrest. “If they do this to us, who have the protection of being U.S. citizens, imagine what they do to their own citizens.”
DUH
Too bad they didn’t throw her in jail...little time in a Paki jail would have been just the thing for her!
They should deport her to Waziristan and see what happens.
Facts are not relevant to the left.
They repeatedly tell us this.
“They totally terrorized us”
Classic.
