While I was fussing with MIRANDA WARNING, I
completely missed something much more important. It took my friend Jennie D. to remind
me of it: Eyes Wide Open, a traveling exhibition
organized by the American Friends Service Committee about the human cost of the Iraq war.
Watch the movie. If it moves you, sign the petition. If it doesn’t move you, have a listen to Pablo Paredes, who
faces a court martial for refusing to fight in Iraq. Remember him? And then watch
Amy Goodman’s interview with Camilo Mejia, an
Army squad-leader-turned-war-resister who has already served a nine-month prison sentence for
refusing to return to Iraq.
