[SARASOTA, Fla. - A retired schoolteacher who went to Iraq to serve as a "human shield" against the U.S. invasion is facing thousands of dollars in U.S. government fines, which she is refusing to pay.  

I believe this is the woman that I heard being interviewed on my local community radio station about a month or two or three back.  I had posted on this board a few snippets of their interview with her.  In a nutshell, she was useless to the Iraqis because she never made it to the refinery target area during the bomb attack, so she and a few other shields went to the hospital where she got a look at war first-hand.  In my opinion, she was completely clueless about the war, and any war in general.

US sanctions were in place for a reason.  If I recall the interview correctly, she was cooperating with a foreign government that was combatant against the US.  I'm surprised she's not up on charges of treason.

LOL "political beliefs".
She can believe or say whatever she wants.
It's the giving aid and comfort to the enemy during a war part that is at issue.
She's a criminal and deserves to be punished like one.
Being old, female, and stupid does not exempt her from following the law.

Just when I think you can't possibly say anything that makes you look dumber, you go and do it.

You never let me down.

Sentence her to prison until the completion of a one million word essay on Treason. The cost of her incarceration, as short or long as it may be, should be deducted from her pension.

Freedom of political expression is what seperates a Democracy from Facism.  Ironic that a game based on a war in which our grandfathers died fighting facism would attract so many.

Gaming a war teaches an understanding and appreciation of it.

Virage, what is ironic is that you describe America as a fascist country.

Freedom of political expression doesnt mean that you don't have to obey the law. If you want to violate the law for the sake of "political expression," fine. Just accept your punishment.

At least the old lady isn't whining or crying. She knows she violated the law. She will accept her punishment, which, by the way, would probably be execution in any fascist country.

Since when is aiding the enemy's military during wartime considered to be "political expression"?

I suppose McVeigh and the 9/11 hijackers were just "expressing" their political views.

Freedom of political expression was used to a great extent in the states by people vociferously opposed to the war.  That is not what this is about.  This is about traveling to a country we are at war with and lending aid to the enemy.  I guess you could call that political expression... right up until you tried getting back into the country.

Didn't she know they were practically giving away "wood chipper" rides?

I find your lack of proper grammar and spelling equally disturbing.

She's being punished for her actions, not her beliefs.  If you need me to explain the difference, I have a couple of hours to kill.  

I also find your lack of faith disturbing (sound of mechanical breathing).

there was no state of war. it was completly within the presidents and congresses ability to declare war they didnt. they cant get her on treason as there was no treason. we have been there.

she hurt no one.

they are only going after her to be vindictive because of her beliefs.


if you agree to this hogwash because you think the invasion of iraq was justified even though you know its just harassment that will never stand the light of day. i stand by my statement that you are dispicable.


p.s. diablo

im dislexic if you find it annoiing it dont read it. i believe the board allows for that. i would prefer it also .

She probably went there to help hiding the WMDs. That's why noone can find them.
