“We are angry because what has happened to our teammates is the result of the actions of the U.S. and U.K. government due to the illegal attack on Iraq and the continuing occupation and oppression of its people,” the group said.
Christian Peacemaker Teams does not consider itself a fundamentalist organization, a spokeswoman said.
“We are very strict about this: We do not do any evangelism, we are not missionaries,” Jessica Phillips told The Associated Press in Chicago. “Our interest is to bring an end to the violence and destruction of civilian life in Iraq.”
The group’s first activists went to Iraq in 2002, six months before the U.S.-led invasion, Phillips said, adding that a main mission since the invasion has been documenting alleged human rights abuses by U.S. forces."

I smell a rat here...I think its all fake....another media scam to make America look bad...like the White Phosphorous deal the Italians made up.....
As I said before...watch these "Christians" be turned loose in order to read some 8 foot long "statement" denouncing Capitalism, America, Bush... the same old stuff...over and over and over again...
I think we need a real clear policy of non interference with these so called "peacemakers" who go over there. That non interference should include allowing them to suffer the consequences of their own stupidity.
If not for our "occupation", does anyone believe these people would have been allowed into Iraq in the first place? What a joke.
You cannot claim to be followers of the Gospel (to evangelion) if you refuse to evangelize.
Lying filth.
These "Christians" would surely turn the other cheek...even if their own child was having his throat slit in front of their eyes...It's the fault of Bush you know...
These guys might be candidates for the Darwin awards.
Well, I guess they sure will see the war crimes they so desperately wanted to see.
Just not quite from the angle they wanted.

Barf! If they're so convinced we've made it a living hell over there; they KNOW the war produced all kinds of unmentionable dangers, then WHY WERE THEY THERE?
These people always use their cohorts like this. I wouldn't want to put my life in the hands of peaceniks. Once there's a sniff of trouble, they turn on you, stab you, give you up, and go onto the next sound bite. Completely disgusting! They really are the dregs of moral society.
Actually, it's because you nitwits were some place you shouldn't belong. Blame yourselves.
