As Cynthia McKinney along with twenty other human rights and aid workers languish away in an Israeli prison for the crime of caring about suffering people and wanting to help them, I find myself grappling with an all too familiar nausea and disgust. There is no mention of this outrage in the corporate media. Which is despicable and obvious on its face.
But where is the outrage from Congress? Where is the concern, the solidarity, for one of their own being illegally detained and thrown into prison? This literally makes me ill.
Not that it will matter much in the greater scheme of things, I decided to write to the President about this. That short letter is available to be viewed by the public. It looks kind of cool the way they do it, which may be my greatest reward for taking the time to attempt to ask our nation's leader to do the right thing.
If they want to ignore reality I guess they will. But I cannot.
