CodePink co-founder Medea Benjamin and other activists were detained on Sunday at the home of Blackwater founder Erik Prince in McLean, Virginia. Medea Benjamin attempted to drop a letter off to Prince at his house.
Medea Benjamin: “Dear Erik Prince, on behalf of US taxpayers, we say shame on you. Through your company Blackwater, or Xe, as you now like to call it, you made — I mean stole — hundreds of millions of dollars. Your employees also killed innocent civilians in Iraq, and you should be held responsible. Don’t run away to the Emirates to escape prosecution. Stay here in the USA and face the consequences of your actions, like a good Christian.”
