How and why did this never make the light of day until now?

Code Pink's leaders had just returned from Fallujah, Iraq, where 51 Americans had been killed and 560 wounded in the US Marines' heaviest urban combat since the Vietnam War. Code Pink delivered $600,000 in cash and supplies to the very insurgents the Marines had been fighting against - quite literally giving aid and comfort to America's enemies in a time of war. As noted in Islam Online, a diplomatic courtesy letter from Barbara Boxer helped make the trip possible.
Incredible.

Looks like they tried to scrub the info, but thankfully Google cache has it.

Thanks for posting. I had never even heard of this "Code Pink." They should have been tried for treason. And Boxer...nothing surprises me. Get her out!

The ONLY reason this COMPLETE PACK OF LIES made the light of day is because it is a BLOG POST from someone on "big government" website. The MORON Jim Hoft who wrote the blog, which sanrene (I guess in an attempt to make it true by cutting and pasting this LIE) is a SERIAL LIAR, which can be verified by even the most cursory search of his writings.

UTTER FAIL on the part of the righties.

Seriously, how do you people ever expect to be taken seriously?

This has no more validity than if I were to find an obscure left wing poster on some site writing COMPLETE LIES and BS about you two.

Of course Islam online is in on it too. Very clever!

News to you, I guess. Dark in there?

Do you have a link to the claim about the diplomatic letter? The Islam Online link goes to a 404 (at American Thinker, not Islam Online :think). Ohm never mind, this is okay. That was in 2004, I see, back when those human shield people were going there. Was the aid for the people of Fallujah?

The link American Thinker gives for "our beloved Barbara Boxer" is about her voting against John Bolton's confirmation.

That's better than the link I found, which said Islam Online took the page down after the Am Thinker article was published. (Though, edit, maybe it did.)

"US$600,000 worth of humanitarian aid to the refugees of the war-torn city of Fallujah.... At least 2,000 Iraqis and 71 US soldiers were killed in a sweeping US raid into Fallujah in November, which displaced some 200,000 people and turned the city into a virtual ghost town."

Yes I am not really suprised Islam online didn't say they brought suppies for terrorists.

Yes they did take it down, this was a cached copy.

I'm confused. The links in the OP state that money was raised to provide relief for displaced refugees, children, etc.
