    I think this is a separate incident, Paulie.

    PEACE

    You got me there!! :-)

    I thought you were thinking of the incident several months ago…which is what I was thinking of when I started reading about this one.

    PEACE

    Hey, Paulie,

    You wrote about the same voyage. But, there was an update: Cynthia McKinney has been CAPTURED by the Israeli Navy. That happened this morning. I would say that takes it to a new level.

    If anyone would like to contact the White House and ask for them to get Cynthia McKinney back, please call the
    White House at 202-456-1111.

    Thanks to everyone here who writes about Cynthia McKinney. And, thanks for any support you can give our third party hero at this time.

    Thanks,
    Kimberly Wilder
    (speaking personally)

    I don’t think anyone is going to call and ask for McKinney back.

    I do support her work for Gaza though.
