This is the most heart-breaking article I've read -- there has got to be a way for him to get media exposure with his story. If nothing else, it should prompt the media to start pointedly asking the anti-war folk the same question as Ken did of the Human Shields: Do you know for a fact what the Iraqis want, or are you just assuming that you know what's best for them?
To: patriciaruth; yonif
We should get down on our knees everyday and thank God we have never known a life like the Iraqis and that our children have a future. What a moving piece. Thank you!

I had not ever bothered to ask them what they wanted . . . If any one sentence captures the essence of this article, I believe the above is it.
How many of those "against the war [for Saddam?]" ) have never asked what do they want?

Wow! What a breathtaking post!
Thank you!

That was what jumped out at me in this very powerful piece, Diddley.
Let us pray that somehow this story can come out ... now ... without endangering those who had the courage to speak out ... at least the essence if not all the detail.
Lord, hear our prayers!

Over and over I questioned them `Why could you want war? Why could any human being desire war?` They're answer was quiet and measured. `Look at our lives!`We are living like animals. No food, no car, no telephone, no job and most of all no hope.` I've read a lot of these stories of changing minds about the war. But it wasn't until tonight that I was able to feel the yearning of those who desired the war to come. It's as though you can taste their freedom as the Coalition gets closer and closer.
If those who have called themselves "human shields" does not make as big a noise as they did in going to stop the war, they are doing themselves and those yearning for freedom a terrible disservice.

Great post. The quote is chilling. Could have come from Hillary, Tom, Charlie, Shelia Jackson-Lee, Maxine, etc.
Prayers for our troops tonight.

The tapes are going to be shown on ABC by Barbara Walters
Be sure to watch ABC the week of March 31 - April 4 for an exclusive interview with Ken Joseph, Jr. from Amman, Jordan, and the video stories of the real Iraqis caught in the grip of Saddam's terror machine.

He didn't have to say a word. I had learned the language of the imprisoned Iraqi. Forbidden to speak by sheer terror they used the one language they had left - human kindness. What a heartbreaking piece. I hope he is able to show that tape and let the world know, with irreputible facts the hell those people have endured.
A strong man to admit when he is wrong and to do what he can to correct his assumptions, may he have all the help and freedom he needs to show his story.
To: yonif
Folks. This story WILL GET OUT! Go to his church link and you'll find the following:
Be sure to watch ABC the week of March 31 - April 4 for an exclusive interview with Ken Joseph, Jr. from Amman, Jordan, and the video stories of the real Iraqis caught in the grip of Saddam's terror machine.
We will let you know as soon as a date and time is scheduled by ABC. Please check back here for details
I'm assuming they will take every pre-caution to protect those that dared to speak if we haven't stormed Baghdad and hoisted Saddam's head on a pole by then.

God bless him for speaking the truth!
And this reminds me... Are there human shields who have stayed in Iraq?

I have met Ken a number of times in Japan. Believe it or not, he is legit.
Ken, IMHO, honestly went to Iraq out of basic concern for those people; he has a long record of humanitarian work to prove he is primarily coming from a human assistance perspective, rather than a radical political perspective like many of the foolish and arrogant "savior-complex" "activists" (human shields) around him who did not fundamentally care about the people.
Actually what is not known here (at least on FR) is the Rev. Ken himself has been a victim of a terrorist attack. That might cause him to be sensitive to the prospect now of the use of chemical weapons on Saddam's own people. Ken himself was on a downtown Tokyo subway one a.m. in early 1990s when the Japanese *Aum Shinrikyo* terrorist sect hit it with "sarin" gas. He had terrible migranes for years afterwards and formed a group of victims. There were more than a thousand wounded in that attack.
Another point. If this does in fact air, I HIGHLY suggest the TV networks blur the faces of those interviewed. They would be in extreme danger in Baghdad from the secret police. I would not put it past some International A.N.S.W.E.R.-type people in the USA to see Ken's videomentary, and then copy and somehow try to get it to Baghdad so they could torture or execute the people he clandestinely interviewed.
