July 26, 2006 | Medea Benjamin is led away by Capitol Police after she interrupted the address of Iraq's Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki at a joint session of Congress in Washington. Benjamin, co-founder of CODEPINK: Women for Peace and Global Exchange, stood up from the gallery and shouted, "Iraqis want the troops to leave, bring them home now! Listen to the Iraqis!" Benjamin repeated the statement several times before she was forcefully lifted from her seat and handcuffed. July 30th, 2006
