SUPPORT EHREN WATADA
The Court-Martial of Ehren Watada Begins
http://www.truthout.org/docs_2006/010207J.shtml
"A pre-trial hearing is scheduled to take place Thursday in Tacoma, Washington, in the court-martial of Ehren Watada, the 28-year-old Army lieutenant who is the first commissioned officer to publicly refuse to deploy to Iraq on the basis that the war is illegal."
"I hated to leave my troops, but something had to be done to stop this insanity," he said. "How could I order men to die for something I believe is wrong? Wearing the uniform is not, and is never, an excuse."
Ehren Watada is not a coward. He represents what should be the shining standard of America (but, unfortunately, is not).
