BREAKING: Most recent update from Cynthia McKinney!

Today at 7:47am

From John Judge, Cynthia's press secretary during her Presidential campaign:

I had another call from Cynthia McKinney who has been told she will remain imprisoned in Ramale, Israel until Monday, July 6 at least along with many others. She asked me to pass along this detail. Among their aid group were three Muslim women from Bahrain who spoke neither English nor Hebrew, and two men from Bahrain. All five of these people were released from custody and flown back to Bahrain in the private plane of the King of Bahrain Sheikh Hamad ibn 'Isa Al Khalifah, where they were welcomed as national heroes.

The US administration has been killing and maiming to get where they are on the same issue.

And after millions dead and maimed from our activities in the pursuit of oil, Russia winds up the winner.
