In Denver last summer I witnessed the IVAW march at the dem convention and was awed by the courage ad conviction of these hero veterans of Iraq who are fighting peacefully to stop these wars (though frankly they were ready to die to get their message heard in Denver and a bloodbath was avoided when Obama agreed to meet with their reps and accept their petition to stop the war.

These men and women (along with code pink) are true heroes of the movement to bring the truth to light about torture, crimes against humanity and ongoing injustices.
This story deserves more attention. They have paid the highest price for this country, those who survived the insanity of war, short of death (though many are still dying from PTSD and illness and suicidal depression, so folks should knw this and support them.

They have more credibility as opponents of these wars and US terrorist-like torture and crimes than anyone else. They experienced the horrors.

And we all owe them respect for their fight against these crimes.
