DESCRIPTION:Hosted by Laura Prives\n\nThe wily, nationally recognized progressive 
 activist Medea Benjamin, cofounder of CODEPINK and Global Exchange, has 
 been accurately described by New York Newsday as "one of America's most 
 committed - and most effective - fighters for human rights. The Los Angeles 
 Times describes her as "one of the high profile leaders of the peace 
 movement." She was one of 1000 exemplary women from 140 countries nominated 
 to receive the Nobel Peace Prize on behalf of millions of women who do the 
 essential work of peace worldwide.\n\nSince the 9/11 tragedy, she has been 
 working to stop the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, and to promote a U.S. 
 foreign policy respectful of human rights. Her work for justice in 
 Israel/Palestine includes taking numerous delegations to Gaza after the 
 2008 Israeli invasion, organizing the Gaza Freedom March in 2010, 
 participating in Freedom Flotillas, and opposing the policies of AIPAC. In 
 2011 she was in Tahrir Square during the Egyptian uprising, and in 2012 she 
 was part of a human rights delegation to Bahrain in support of democracy 
 activists when she was tear-gassed, arrested, and deported by the Bahraini 
 government.  \n\n"Activist extraordinaire Medea Benjamin has documented how 
 the U.S. government's use of drones to murder hundreds of innocent victims 
 in Afghanistan, Pakistan, Somalia and Yemen has increased the danger to our 
 national security.  Benjamin's Drone Warfare is the first book that reveals 
 the vocal international citizen that challenges the legality and morality 
 of America's extrajudicial execution drones before they begin killing here 
 at home."\n-Ann Wright, U.S. Army colonel (retired) \n\n$12 advance
