Col. Ann Wright Medea Benjamin Code Pink Iraq War New World Order Border Canada FBI Bush-Cheney Gang William Hughes
Description: On Oct. 4, 2007, Ret. U.S. Army Colonel, and ex-U.S. State Department Diplomat, Ann Wright, and Ms. Medea Benjamin, the founder of Code Pink, held a press conference, in Washington, D.C., outside of the Embassy of Canada. Yesterday, they was barred from entering Canada by government officials at the border. They were informed that their names were on a "Criminal Database List," which was compiled by the FBI. As a result of misdemeanor convictions, in this country, arising out of nonviolent protest action against the Iraq War, the FBI had arbitrarily placed their names on its "Criminal Database List." The highly respected Peace Activists shared their views on the issue and how they intend to challenge the FBI's decision and to also meet, later in the afternoon, with officials at the Canadian Embassy in order to remedy this situation.

| StoogeWatcher ::: Favorites 2007-12-30 11:56:23 Are you braindead? Many Canadians don't want a bunch of Communist hippies in their country. Even those who supported the draft-dodgers of the 1960s are sick of them. __________________________________________________ | |
| richaround ::: Favorites 2007-12-30 07:43:16 What does stoogewatcher organize protests for? I bet the thousands of US soldiers who have to live their lives missing limbs and comrades would have appreciated her brand of military support. George Bushes?:put them in harms way, on ridiculous missions, guaranteed to to cause high US casualties, bring them back for poorly organized healthcare...all for America?...No, for Big Money. Stoogewatcher...Pathetic. __________________________________________________ | |
| CanadianWolverine ::: Favorites 2007-11-11 22:51:49 That is a load of BS, Stephen Harper is not a friend of Bush and his administration or their BS policies. Blame the FBI, not our honorable border defenders - do you expect the Canadian government to send investigators into the US to check on the stories of everyone entering Canada? Write, email, and petition our government if you would like these ladies to enter Canada, which I wouldn't mind at all since I share their views on Bush's Presidential Administration. __________________________________________________ | |

| StoogeWatcher ::: Favorites 2007-10-25 00:34:06 Ever see CodePink protest against Hamas and Hezbollah? Nope. Ever see CodePink show any support for the military? Sorry. Ever see CodePink denounce an Islamist who says it's okay to kill gays and women? Not gonna happen. __________________________________________________ | |

| TVACdotCA ::: Favorites 2007-10-18 11:36:44 Please disregard the silly comments from Republicans and Conservatives in Canada. We invited you here to Canada, and you have every right to come to Canada. Thank you for your anti-war activism. You have more honour and integrity than our government here in Canada led by Bush's friend "Steve". __________________________________________________ | |
| silyfayg ::: Favorites 2007-10-17 14:07:12 and by the way you broke a law in your country, so you have to go through pardons Canada if you want to come here. Just like our criminals (misdemeanor or not) have to do to go to the United States. We have our own citizens and freedoms here, we can do our own protesting. We don't need busy body, arrogant, iggnorant americans supporting our chosen causes __________________________________________________ | |
