Gael Murphy, of Washington, D.C. (gael@codepinkalert.org) checked in to Canada Free Press (CFP) yesterday to correct the errors of my ways on one Medea Benjamin.
The letter was in response to my Thursday cover story, When in danger, call for the U.S. Marines, That’s what Codepink’s Medea Benjamin did.
“Medea Benjamin doesn’t hate the Marines. She doesn’t want them to go to Iraq to risk their lives in an illegal, immoral, corrupt and endless occupation,” Murphy wrote in her email.
“Ask the Pentagon Inspector General. The violent and disastrous Iraq policy is not the soldier. The Bush Administration should declare an emd (sic) to the US military occupation immediately, withdraw all the troops and contractors in a safe and orderly manner as swiftly as possible, urge the international community to broker political dialogue among factions, promote and help fund peace-keeping troops, pay reparations for having destroyed Iraq, and killed, injured and displaced millions of Iraqis.”
