Cynthia McKinney Reportedly Taken Captive By Israeli Navy
Posted by Ronald Hardy at June 30th, 2009
The latest from www.freegaza.org reports that the humanitarian vessel Spirit of Humanity has been attacked and boarded by the Israelis 23 miles off the coast of Gaza. Former US Congresswoman and Presidential candidate Cynthia McKinney is among the 21 human rights workers taken prisoner off the ship.

Lady’s got balls. Glad I voted for her.
Petition asking for return of Cynthia McKinney and the other humanitarian workers:

Unless you’re the Green Party.
I don’t think anyone is going to call and ask for McKinney back.
I do support her work for Gaza though.
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)
Right on the money Donald.

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.

“The Ransom of Red Chief” a short story [c1900] by O. Henry……
Give her an hour and they will be begging to give her back.
I think this is a separate incident, Paulie.
PEACE
I could have sworn I posted this here a little while back…
