We're told all the time we're out there fighting for democracy. No one knows more than we do that this war has nothing to do with democracy," Michael McPhearson, a member of Veterans for Peace, told reporters. McPhearson fought in Iraq in 1991 and has a son who has just returned from there.

Our latest Kerry wannabes?

I'd say those that are currently there and continue VOLUNTEERING to return just may knows more than he does that this war has everything to do with democracy.

Always sad to see fomer Military drink the kool-aid and garner all the attention that should be going to our brave troops still VOLUNTEERING for harm's way.

From an ACLU FOIA application to the FBI for anya nd all information they may have on individuals, he is listed as, "Michael McPhearson is the Executive Director of Veterans for Peace, a national organization which, among other things, engages in public dissent against the Bush Administration's policy concerning the War in Iraq. McPhearson, a Gulf War Veteran, has received national attention for his advocacy against the War since 9/11. In 2003 and 2004 he traveled to Iraq, Italy and Turkey as part of a peace delegation to monitor the occupation and present the organization's message opposing U.S. occupation. He has also been detained at the airport. McPhearson, a coordinating committee member of the “Bring them Home Now” campaign against U.S. occupation, and a steering committee member of United for Peace and Justice, was a featured speaker at a national march in Washington, D.C. sponsored by United for Peace and Justice and he has also been featured on C-Span and in Associated Press articles condemning the Bush Administration's policies. A long time activist, McPhearson, who is the publisher of Cpeace.com, previously engaged in outspoken activism with the NAACP.

His camo shirt doesn't say he's against the war.

It says he's against America.
