Medea Benjamin, of Code Pink: Women for Peace, stole some of Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki's thunder when she crashed the joint session of congress and started shouting 'Iraqis want the troops to leave; bring them home now.'

Code Pink is taking part in Troops Home Fast, a hunger strike started by another famous war protestor--Cindy Sheehan.
