No Code Pink Rethink

American Power interviews Code Pink co-founder Julie Evans, who claims there’s no Code Pink rethink on Afghanistan. Troops out! Humanitarians in! Women’s rights now! (Apparently she wasn’t paying attention in the ’90s, or the ‘Naughts, for that matter. Not clear on the Taliban/al-Qaeda women’s rights concept).

Here’s the original Christian Science Monitor article about Code Pink co-founder Medea Benjamin being told to STFU by Afghanistan’s leading women’s rights activist in Kabul. OK, that’s not exactly how the Afghan women’s rights activist put it.

Maybe Medea was just put on the spot. It was an awkward moment. Or maybe there’s a schism! “Lefty Group Splits as Dawn Breaks over Kabul.” Something like that. That could be fun.

   Code Pink went to Afghanistan and got smacked in the face by reality. The schadenfreude makes me positively giddy.
