I'm having the worst damn week of my whole damn life so I'm going to write this while I'm pissed off enough to do it right.

This 8-minute video is a clarion call for a US national TIME OUT, and a call for the immediate resig

"The Department of Defense is professional at wordsmithing. Thats how they dupe guys into thinking that we're defending something when we're actually aggressors."

Dahr Jamail brings you a report from the streets of Bagdhad, where death squads are terrorizing civilians. Also, this segment on the growing GI resistance movement.

The Case of Lt. Ehren Watada
JANUARY 20-21, 2007
Tacoma, Washington, USA

"In an unprecedented two-day Citizens' Hearing held over January 20-21, more than 600 citizens joined a distinguished tribunal panel in listening to testimony about the legality of the US invasion of Iraq. The Citizens' Hearing was convened to present evidence that Lt. Ehren Watada would have presented in his February 5 court martial on the question that the military ruled barred from entry on Jan. 16 - the question of the Iraq War's legality. Lt. Watada has repeatedly asserted that because the Iraq War is illegal, it is his duty to refuse orders to deploy. He is the Army's first commissioned officer to take such a stand."

This video is about 12 minutes in length.

We can only imagine what Lt. Ehren Watada must have been feeling on February 5, 2007, the first day of his court martial for being the first commissioned officer to refuse deployment to Iraq. But he must have been heartened by the attendance at the rallies before the gates of Fort Lewis Washington where his "trial" was to be held.
