Code Pink Gets Listened To Instead of Being Arrested — And the Media Covered It!

January 12, 2007 By jillk

I just can’t get over this photo of Gael Murphy, head of Code Pink in D.C., talking with General Pace and Secretary Gates on Capitol Hill.  What a difference from previous encounters between Code Pink and this administration. 

Also notable is that the media covered the encounter even though the conversation appears to be reasonable and this is no overt threat of terrorism.  Maybe there is some hope for dissent about the War in Iraq after all.

Please share widely!

    is on the comcast home page at the moment.  interesting.  is the whitehouse trying to send a (faux) message that they are ‘listening’ and ‘reasonable’ and so we should trust them now?  of course my question implies that (at least a major portion of) the media is at the bidding of powers that be.  silly me.
