Day 26: Hunger Strike at White House Continues
August 24, 2009 | Washington, District of Columbia | Vetting explained
I had to go over last night to see if the Hunger Strike at the White House was still alive. It was, and they were on Day 26.
Does this story, the safety of the Iranians who are living in Camp Ashraf, have a larger connection to the disputed elections in Iran, Iran's nuclear ambitions and the overall power struggle in the Middle East?
What's the reason I keep covering this? I think, for what it is worth, this is a story that gives us one way of looking at how the U.S. pull out of Iraq will impact the Middle East and the world. There will be changes. And this is one way to start studying a new reality.
