Code Pink's New Sabotage Campaign
Code Pink, the anti-U.S. outfit run by Castro-loving neocom moonbat Medea Benjamin and Democratic Party funder Jodi Evans, is pushing a program designed to weaken America's ability to defend itself. Code Pink's leadership is urging its members to stage protests at U.S. military recruitment centers in order to shut them down. "Holding an action outside a recruitment center can have a huge effect on potential enlistees, recruiters, and passersby. It is a highly effective method of community education and empowerment, and has been shown to drive recruiters out of areas, from a block to a city," screeches Code Pink's website.
One might be tempted to dismiss bat-women like Medea Benjamin who wear silly Halloween costumes year-round as being unworthy of serious scrutiny. That would be a mistake, since Code Pink recently raised $600,000 which it donated to the Iraqi town and terrorist stronghold of Fallujah. It is reasonable to assume that at least some of that money found its way into the hands of terrorists.

this is whats amazing to me--yes, freedom of speech -- let the moonbats say whatever they want, but WHY WHY WHY are they taken so seriously and paid so much attention to? as soon as there are puppets and costumes serious adults of any political stripe should be saying "oh, i see--some nonsense, never mind"
Looks like we found a new use
for the rico act!
Hopefully, these moonbats can save a few mentally deficient individuals from a dismal fate as bullet-stoppers in Bush's Halliburton mercenary force in time for the next unprovoked destruction of a third world country based on lies and misrepresentation.
I recently posted on my blog a similar story about a website advocating this type of activities http://citzcom.blogspot.com/2005/04/website-involved-in-treason-sedition.html
To me this is boarderline treason.
Well, I hope this has the same effect that the suicide bombings in Iraq of police and guard recruiting centers had. Each time the "minute men" blow up a waiting line of men signing up for service, the next day the line is longer. But you may not know that, the msm doesn't like to report that. If it bleeds, it leads....
*Just laughs at Carl*. You've got a long way to go if you're *still* throwing out those old lies about Iraq. As for CodePink, I doubt that wannabe superheroines will impress anyone, except for "mentally deficient individuals" who are wowed by bright colors and nifty special effects (i.e. most infants and the majority of leftists.)

Where's the fun in that?
Carl's kind says...
...Free Saddam! Free All Saddam-ites!
Then re-arrest them!
Good Lord of Hosts! Their all nuts!
I don't know what happened?
Here is the article;
Protests at Saddam Hussain's Trial
Jurists worldwide have protested against the arrangement of Saddam Hussein in a make shift
Iraqi's court room without the assistance of a lawyer.
Many international lawyers believe that it is inherently unlawful for the coalition forces to hold detainees in Iraq without charge or trial now that sovereignty has been formally restored to the Iraqis. This is because the Geneva Conventions -which do permit detention without charge - apply only in the case of an international armed conflict or occupation.
Rather, international humanitarian groups and NGOs are lobbying for the fate of the other estimated 5,000 detainees to be resolved. Amnesty International has told the US's permanent representative at the UN, "we would expect the occupying powers to release all prisoners, detainees and internees. They may only be re-arrested by the Iraqi authorities if there are grounds under Iraqi law, consistent with standards, to detain them." What is much more problematic is the nature of the impending trial process itself. In principle, this will take place under the auspices of the Statute of the Iraqi Special Tribunal. This was adopted by the Iraqi Governing Council last December, and is designed to cover proceedings against Iraqis who are accused of war crimes or crimes against humanity committed since 1968.
Already, these rules have run into criticism from international justice specialists and human rights groups. They point out, for example, that the statute has references to the 1971 Iraqi Procedure Code, which in turn allows statements and confessions extracted under coercion to be used in evidence.
Another concern relates to the statute's rules governing investigative judges and judges of both the trial and appeal chambers. Some observers believe that the rules should explicitly require such individuals to act impartially, and that there should be provisions for excusing judges in cases where their objectivity might be questioned.
Then there are worries about defence rights. Richard Dicker, at Human Rights Watch's international justice programme, points out that the statute does not require that an accused be given access to defence lawyers hi the initial interrogation and pre-trial stages.
"He [Mr Hussein] needs to have legal counsel immediately to begin managing the defence," he says.
Yesterday there was immediate criticism from human rights lawyers that Mr Hussein was asked to answer his charges in court without a lawyer present.
