Medea Benjamin arrested for breaking and entering?
I saw this on a right wing site I don't want to link to.

Anyone here know what really happened?

3. a quick google turned up the same story from Code Pink site
CODEPINK cofounder Medea Benjamin and other DC area activists were detained at the home of Blackwater Founder Erik Prince. The group dropped by to deliver a letter urging Prince not to flee the US to extradition-free UAE.

4. Right, but since they didn't break in but were invited by Prince's wife
the charges will be tossed. If you don't want to see someone, you don't open the damn door.

The police were just being dicks because Prince has money.
