...played a key role in mobilizing women nationwide against an invasion of Iraq.

I love the way they make it sound like this is a HUGE uprising of "all women" across the nation. If they desired truth in reporting, they'd change this to say "a few hundred women."

Oh, and I always found her name interesting. "Medea" in Greek legend was the object of affection of Jason of "and the Argonauts" fame. They married and had some children, but he soon grew tired of her and started sleeping around.

In revenge she murdered all their children.

I guess her parents must have thought this an appropriate name for a "strong woman."

According to Benjamin, who is married and has two children

If her husband's name is Jason, I'm going to die laughing.

If her organization is FOR human rights, why is she supporting an extreme violator of human rights? Moron.
