Wow... I've read bits of his story before, but never in such sad detail. Has there been any discussion about when the tapes will be shown over the air or are they waiting for the war to be over? Anyone know?

Thanks...

This is the guy who smuggled the 14 hours of unedited, candid video tape out of Iraq, isn't it?

He needs to get on the cable TV circuit ASAP and tell his story.

They can't show that tape till after we have control of Iraq. Can you imagine what would happen to those on the tape if Al Jazera (sp?) broadcasted it??

If he did, Saddam would have everyone in the video and their families killed. He should wait until after the regime is dead.

Can't they at least air the tape of some? I don't want this, and the other tales of former human-shields, to be some sort of urban myth. It is just a concern...

Bump, look liked this guy confronted the arrogance of liberials, he at least had the guts to admit he was wrong. Hopefully he will apply this lesson to other issues.

A great article. So few people are honest enough with themselves to change their views when the evidence goes against them!

`Look at it this way. No matter how bad it is we will not all die. We have hoped for some other way but nothing has worked. 12 years ago it went almost all the way but failed. We cannot wait anymore. We want the war and we want it now`

Wow.

Our President is the right man at the right time for these peolpe. I pray that he finishes the job and decapitates this vile beast. Every last vestige of the darkness and evil that chokes that nation must be destroyed.

I hope that every one of our service men and women over there realizes this. God bless them too.
