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.

Does someone have a fox master list of emails? There was one posted a while back.
This needs to be followed up AND criminal charges pursued!
This is not freedom of speech this is aid and comfort to the enemy of a direct nature.
Sure, she gives "medicine" to the other side; a commodity that can be very easily traded for weapons, ammunition, explosives, and other hardware to murder more US Coalition soldiers.
One word... traitors.
This looks like a clear case to be prosecuted.
To buy them medicine is to free up their money so they can buy more ammunition.
It is treason.
"Aid and comfort."
Bingo.
To this day, I have never understood why Nixon's Justice Dept never charged Kerry, Fonda and Clark with treason.
Those folks are disgusting.
'Best Wishes', 'Good Viewing' and 'Eagles UP' at the Inauguration! Unfortunately, I won't be able to join the Washington Chapter of FR like I did for the Reagan Funeral; I have a previous commitment overseas on that date.
Undeniable treason.
Yet they will not be held accountable.
Find your local chapter...

Got mine in Houston all lined up...
About time to rain on someone's parade I suppose...
If her nostrils would close just a little bit more. . .
My two cents.
United States. Resolution 1368:
Calls on all States to work together urgently to bring to justice the perpetrators, organizers and sponsors of these terrorist attacks and stresses that those responsible for aiding, supporting, or harboring the perpetrators, organizers and sponsors of these acts will be held accountable.
Medea Benjamin and her Code Pink group are the freaky looking ones who protested the Dem Convention this past summer wearing pink statue of liberty outfits with pink tape over their mouths.
I'm not surprised to read this development at all.
What you wanna bet the other side, buys more bullets instead of medicine?
From the 2nd article:
The group recently sent 600,000 dollars worth of humanitarian aid to residents of the Iraqi town of Fallujah ...
This woman's actions disgust me!
Then Code Pink is a terrorist organization and should be treated as such.
This is a must read bump!
From the U.S. Constitution:
Article III Section 3.
Treason against the United States, shall consist only of levying war against them, or in adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort. [snip]
If convicted of Treason, the sentence proscribed is death.
If Benjamin is quoted accurately, then I 'm the second witness that's required.
