In addition to appearing in Fahrenheit 9/11, Mr. Henderson has testified on Capitol Hill on a congressional panel and appeared on the radio shows Democracy Now and the Joe Madison Show.

from BlackSpeakers.net:

With a first hand look into the war in Iraq , Marine Lance Cpl. Abdul Henderson, has been actively speaking out against the war. He testified on Capitol Hill on a congressional panel in 2003. He was featured in Michael Moore's movie Fahrenheit 9/11 stating that he would not return to Iraq if his reserve unit was called back to duty. Mr. Henderson has also been featured on radio shows Democracy Now and the Joe Madison Show . In addition, he has appeared on the morning show Good Morning America and was given the political play of the week on CNN's show Inside Politics .

Armed with documents citing outstanding performance and several service medals during his five years as a reservist, the soft-spoken Henderson describes himself as an American Patriot who speaks from the heart.

Mr. Abdul Henderson is standing up for what he believes in, he has a definitive message why everyone should participate in the democratic process. His speech on why Americans should vote has “ left audiences stunned, invigorated, and ready to take action.” With the presidential election around the corner Mr. Henderson's message is a must hear and should not be taken lightly

I believe there is a very special place in hell for this boy, or at least a special place in Leavenworth.

Corporal Henderson joins the likes of Scott Ritter, who as former Marines have defamed themselves, their country and their Corps. Every now and then a couple scum sucking bottom dwellers manage to raise to the top and mingle with the real Marines...

Anyone who associates with Moore and spews his idiotic talking points deserve whatever punishment the Marines can dish out.

If he's still in the service, isn't this insubordination? Is he Moslem?

If this is true, then I should think his commander should order him not to participate.

It's one thing to participate in political matters out of uniform, but it can't be done in uniform, and I should think it would also be improper to do it specifically identifying yourself as a marine. Because that's the whole point, that a marine is a peacenik.

Abdul is likely a Muslim name.

A little jail time is all Abdul needs while Moore enjoys his freedom and rakes in millions with all his BS. It's better for the troops that he doesn't go because we don't need another black American muslim fragging his superiors as happened at the start of the war.

Funny how those who appeared in Michael Moore's film without consent and disputed their appearance by talking to the filmmakers of FahrenHYPE 911 are ignored by the Left.

Sgt. Akbar, the American who murdered 2 officers and injured another 14 in Kuwait in 2003, is the REAL US military hero to these traitors.

Mr. SKELTON. Mr. Speaker, I yield 1 1/2 minutes to the gentlewoman from California (Ms. Watson).

Ms. WATSON. Mr. Speaker, Abdul Henderson was called up as a Marine Reserve to go to Iraq. I am hoping and praying that he was not aboard that helicopter. As soon as I leave these Chambers, I will make a call out to Los Angeles.

He is the son of one of my employees. We saw him off. I support and I honor our troops for they are following commands, and I think the most honorable thing we can do is take them out of harm's way.

And he has a political connection.

His wishes should be accomodated. Nobody wants a coward at their back in a fight. Send him to Guam. Or let him go be a prison guard at Gitmo.
