The blankets they bring for poor Brad look strangely like the blankets I see wrapped around homeless people in DC. <\/p>\n<p>It must be nice to be able to push and shove MPs around and not get gun down or beaten with a night stick. Brave activists.<\/p>\n<p>For some reason I see the Guantanamo mock prisoners in the crowd, too. I wonder what the point is. If I were Brad Manning, I&#8217;d welcome imprisonment in Gitmo, what with the good chow and balmy weather. Beats Northern Virginia in the winter.  <\/p>\n<p>The Code Pink hags had to retool this weekend, though, and headed out to Egypt. This from Medea Benjamin;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Dear Jonn,<\/p>\n<p>After several cancelled flights, I am finally on my way to Egypt to join my CODEPINK colleagues who are already there. We were supposed to be leading a delegation to Gaza right now, traveling through the Sinai to get to Gaza&#8217;s southern border. The Rafa crossing into Gaza has been closed, our delegation is unable to leave Cairo, and we have been caught up in the breath-taking people&#8217;s movement that is sweeping Egypt. CODEPINK\u2019s Tighe Barry has been out on the streets of Cairo all week long. You can hear a compelling report from him here. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Nothing would make me happier than if the Code Pink hags would get stuck in Egypt and Gaza. Activist tourists. Fly in, get everyone all riled up and then back to Starbucks for scones.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Someone sent me this video of the Bradley Manning rally at Quantico last weekend; All of &hellip; <a title=\"I hate hippies\" class=\"hm-read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=22030\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">I hate hippies<\/span>Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8,43],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-22030","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-antiwar-crowd","category-code-pink"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/22030","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=22030"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/22030\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=22030"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=22030"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=22030"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
