There are some brave people in this world, and among them we should include those women in America who go by the name of Code Pink. They are persistent and well organised in there anti-militarism campaign, among other injustices they see.
On the 29th January, in the American Senate, during an Armed Services Committee hearing, they attempted a citizens arrest of that arch organiser of state bloodshed, Henry Kissinger. Of course the Chairman of the hearing, Senator John McCain, berated them, calling they low life scum, if there is anyone who could recognise that life form it would be him, as he is part of that genre.

Did you hear? CODEPINK took the Senate by storm yesterday by attempting a citizens' arrest of Henry Kissinger
while he was testifying in the Senate Armed Services Committee hearing!
Chairman of the hearing, Senator John McCain, responded by referring to
us as “despicable," "disgraceful," and "low life scum” –– and we
couldn’t be prouder.

For
over a decade, CODEPINK has been holding war criminals accountable for
their actions. We’ve exposed the lies in the halls of power in
Washington DC and across the country, starting with the Bush
administration and continuing into the Obama years, but never forgetting
the grave offenses committed by people before them, like Henry
Kissinger. Check out more pictures from the arrest on our Facebook page! But our work isn’t possible without you. Please consider supporting our work by making a donation today.
