Six degrees of Medea Benjamin

A new day, a new "peace" group: CodePink4Peace. That was started by, and using a mailing address of, Susan Medea Benjamin of Global Exchange. You might remember Global Exchange as the author of the inflated civilian death statistics in Afghanistan. Oh, and CodePink4Peace is not to be confused with just regular old CodePink, started by the Utne reader. Nina Utne's article about these groups, Medea, fasting, wearing pink, dealing with the glassy-eyed junkies at a crack hotel and the rest makes one wish for the simple, direct Raelian approach: "Whenever everybody undresses, the ego goes away and then we can make decisions."

An interesting project might be to try to draw a graph showing who leads which group. Perhaps it would even turn out there are more groups than leaders.
