In other news, Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki continued his visit to the US Wednesday with an address to a joint session of Congress. Al-Maliki said his country’s future depends on continued US commitment and that Iraq is a front line in the war on terrorism. His speech received an unexpected interruption from Medea Benjamin, co-founder of the anti-war group CodePink. She yelled: “Iraqis want the troops to leave, bring them home now!” Medea Benjamin was then arrested and charged with disrupting Congress.
