Medea, killer of children

The San Francisco Chronicle today gave us a gushing front-page profile of Susie "Medea" Benjamin, a founder of lunatic-fringe temper-tantrum group Global Exchange, and by profession a full-time Useful Idiot on behalf of Fidel Castro, Saddam Hussein, Mullah Omar, etc.

The article was a puff piece timed for the anti-America, pro-Saddam riots that Benjamin helped organize today. Headline: "S.F. woman's relentless march for peace". In typical fashion, the Chronicle portrayed Benjamin as a noble activist, and didn't bother to ask her any difficult questions, such as "If we don't go to war against Iraq, how would you prevent Saddam Hussein from getting nuclear weapons, or does that scenario not bother you?" or "What would you have to say for yourself if we do leave Saddam Hussein in power and he goes on to kill several hundred thousand more people?"

The story does reveal a number of interesting items from Benjamin's background. For example, she earned a master's degree in economics (but apparently didn't pay attention in class). She visited Cuba once:

at first, Cuba's comparative social equality "made it seem like I died and went to heaven." Then she bumped into the limitations of free speech while working at a Communist-run newspaper; she was deported after daring to write an anti-government article.
