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.

When is this considered treasonous? Where do we draw the line in this PC world?
Where's her burkha? She can't have her cake and eat it, too.
That woman is ugly.
Thanks for the thread and the info. Looks like I have some telephone calls to make next week.
This so disgusts me, I'm speechless. Treason. Pure and simple, it's TREASON.
Eagles UP!
They assume a mandate they haven't earned and when they pretend to speek for the American people . . it's a real problem.
Amen....and I will remember this one too....next time I'm bashed for asking "why"?
Ugh, that's disgusting! The insanity of these people boggles the mind!
The young girls on television, never made that connection. I'm telling you, it looked like a free ride to NYC for the day. The others, I imagine, have a clue and that is their purpose.
That's a good point there.
Stick them up against the wall I would be delighted to pull the trigger.
Why are we not prosecuting traitors to our country? If this isn't an example of treason, what is?
Why is it that all lib activists have that same "provoked chihuahua" look?
Loser, Traitor, B*tch
not many attractive women are libs....at least not down here.
she is projecting her dissatisfaction with herself...the true essence of liberalism.
i cannot be happy so I must fix the world from my warped perspective.
or, "I'm ugly so my country must be too"
She should be prosecuted (and shot) for giving money to folks who kill Americans.
