Bert,
This was no stunt.
A blockade is an act of war. The ship was seized in international waters. The Israelis were invited to inspect the ship before it left Cyprus but refused. They have no right to require relief supplies be hauled by Israeli trucks and subject to Israeli fees and taxes. There were 20 other people on that ship including the youngest person ever to win a Nobel Peace Prize. She won it for her work in helping to bring peace to Northern Ireland.
Thank you Catherine for setting it straight.
Cynthia McKinney took on Carlyle and outed the missing money issue. It cost her a Congressional seat. She came back, won it again. She took on Rumsfeld on the missing money and sex slave trafficking by DOD contractors. It cost her the seat again.

In my book, she has done more to defend the Constitution and Republican principles than any Congressman except Ron Paul.
She is in my prayers.
Catherine
Bert,
I want to say that you are a bean head, but that would be unkind.
Cynthia’s putting it on the line; we should all be so brave.
Solidarity with the christian and jew killing islamo fascist imperialists. Yey!
This McKinney woman is running a stunt – she was the Green party candidate in 2008, and she’s planning to run against Nader in 2012.
The ship was operating as part of the Israeli blockade, which is its role. The procedure is that inbound ships follow the Israeli escort to port for cargo check, before cargo is offloaded to be shipped by truck to Gaza.
Somehow, McKinney tried to run through this blockade. Of course, she got boarded and detained. They contacted the State Dept to send somebody over to escort McKinney out of the area before they would release her, so she couldn’t pull another stunt.
Just standard activist stuff… get yourself arrested so you can holler ‘police brutality!’ Not that I’m against activism, just as long as its meaningful, but this is thinly veiled publicity stuff.
Who funds this stuff?
