2) Medea Benjamin, co-founder of the group Code Pink Women for Peace, co-founder of the human rights group Global Exchange and author of "Kingdom of the Unjust: Behind the U.S.-Saudi Connection," assesses the recent defeat of a resolution in the Senate that would have invoked the War Powers Act to rein in the U.S. role in providing Saudi Arabia intelligence, reconnaissance and logistical support for the Kingdom's brutal war in Yemen.
