the for. wealthy british style. is not on its side of.

the. market financed scandals find out what's really happening to the global economy for a no holds barred look at the global financial headlines to name two causes a report on our culture is that so much was made me i'm going to make a lot of the play here yeah but what can we expect in this new year what does your crystal ball tell you and do we have any reason to believe two thousand and eleven will be any better than. the bold the fukushima you the latest in science and technology from around flushing. we've got the future covered. he.

what you are tv's are the headlines the terrorists next door rise and arrest and you are turns a spotlight on the policy for providing extremist safe haven. feeling the fear of nuclear war the moscow bunker museum that's giving visitors a first hand experience of the horror of holocaust. and turning divorce distress into dollars what half of us marriages breaking down will work out why it's an opportunity to make a fast buck out of failure. coming up the firsthand stories of soldiers and

officers who chose conscience over army orders and price they paid for that decision. noice can you hear it. it's coming from. it's the sound of despair despair. north and south millions of men children living in appalling conditions in extreme poverty extreme violence extreme exploitation. they're the orphans of the technological age. at the table of the

rich and powerful. these are their stories some are shocking. but in their own right. extreme. as extreme as the compulsion for soldiers to disobey orders against their convictions. this is the story of three soldiers in three countries and. each was compelled to break his pledge of obedience. i. was at. the time i got up. and i got a good lad i cut i doubt i'd

i'd i'd had that i cut out. i thought that. was odd. in the army we were supposed to submit willingly to our superiors order to make the i observe their rule my entire life until that infamous september eleventh is see i knew that blood was being spilled in the streets and. that corpses were floating in the river for people. to sit down to vent crimes for being committed. which. i could no longer be a member of an army that was responsible for these injustices because you can let it but then if you know it the kids it will be. eight s.

in pretty shit. show whenever i deal becomes a nightmare. show and your good lord turns into satan to full fitness the town and day turns into night shift selfishly like that. i. you have the obligation to refuse to leave but when it's when you no longer believe in what you are doing and you can no longer stand up for your actions you must refuse.

it. if you don't have a good reason to go to war. if you don't have a purpose if you don't feel that you're doing something noble. if you don't believe deep within yourself that you fighting for freedom if you don't believe deep within yourself that you're fighting for democracy. if you don't believe that you're fighting. to make the world a safer place and you're left without a purpose you're nothing but my mercenary. and that's why i'm sad not to go back to my unit in iraq because i completely disagree i think this works the more on criminal and i don't want to be

a part of it. but .

when you're a soldier. basically what makes you a soldier in legal terms is the fact that you sign a contract one month once you steve sign a contract you are. supposed to do everything they tell you to do you're supposed to follow orders. when there is a war. and they give you your give me your orders. it's very hard to see a human being to accept that because you're not really taking part of in the process of. deciding whether that war is legal or it's illegal or if it's moral or immoral.

but such believe such moral view. has absolutely nothing to do with what you have to do as a soldier you have to follow your orders. and that's that is one of the most frustrating things among being a soldier and you have no say. though that after fifteen days in the states i was supposed to go back to iraq.

better nor would better the decision not to report to you know military commander. was not easy to make it was very hard and i'm risking a logger starting with my freedom i'm exposing myself to humiliation. i mean risking my immigrant status in this country that's huge because i have a daughter who lives here. in. all of this has turned my life upside down for example i had to leave my home i stopped using my credit cards and my cell phone on me i couldn't see my daughter for fear of being arrested i had to live with friends or relatives. i contacted lawyers my whole life changed when i wasn't free anymore i couldn't go

back to college or get a job all this caused a lot of emotional turmoil in my life. within and. as a practitioner of military law over the last twenty six years i return many people to military control and it is never easy for someone to go bad it's never easy it takes great courage for camilla to do what he is doing today because he does not know what he faces upon his return to military authority thank. god. i did not prepare a statement because what i have to say i have to say from the heart and it's a very simple message and a message and it simply says that i'm saying no to war. we're dying

there iraqis are being killed every day and then here people are you know reading us about janet jackson's breast or the super bowl or whatever when there is a war. going on right on there are people die and people lose perspective very easily and out hurts me deep inside because i'm a soldier and i saw the software firsthand and i'm making this stand right here not . to prove that i'm right or anything like that but because of the soldiers in iraq who disagree with this war but don't have the strength to come forward so i'm doing it for them i'm not trying to my back my comrades i have the side i'm not going to be a part of that war but i'm going back to the military today i have really no idea what's going to happen but whatever happens if they try to say that i'm a criminal and they give me many years in jail. i know that that i made the right decision in the god has forgiven me already thank you. the military now once he returns to military control has the discretion to decide

what to do with him they can choose the administrative route that is processing his claim for conscience objection or they could choose a judicial route to resolve this matter if they were to choose the judicial route then there is that strong possibility that he would face trial by court martial. after this press conference what we intend to do is to take a bus and we intend to travel about thirty minutes from here to hanscom air force base while we arrive at the front gate we don't know wirral take him there are many unknowns. i was born in nicaragua into

a political family my mother worked for the government. army my father. who sang in a revolution. i came to the united states when i was eighteen years old. i had no ties anywhere and that i knew were not going to i felt like a stranger everywhere i went. so when i came here country. i figured i should try to fit into north american society. the heart of this country. for me. of becoming a member of a fraternity. or

country i already had clearly defined political views. anyone who comes to another country. especially in this country which is the jewish homeland supposed to be a place for everyone. to be a part of the israeli society. everyone else. has . to everything.

that's how i became a volunteer paratrooper. i had been accepted at the military school i felt like the proudest man on earth with my cadets uniform. at the end of the first year. two years later graduated from the. well the rank of artillery officer. i was successful as a soldier i did my job and i was promoted i received several medals. and marks of recognition things were going very well. in the military i was proud to be

an infantry soldier because the infantry is supposed to be the toughest job in the army the most dangerous job. but. i find those deeply moving but while we're still a child. as i listen to the military and watch the troops march by i mean i relive some of the happiest moments in my life. when i was an officer of the army the army prior to september eleventh. the death of thousands of people civilians the terrorist attacks that's not

something you can forget. very sad when it all happened. at the time that my national guard unit would be mobilized and we would be sent into the field to fight or to carry out a real mission. there had been so many. it seems to me that if the situation was handled properly if there was a thorough investigation by the people responsible for the attacks and then a mission to find. bring them to justice and all of this a good cause. you know at the time i still thought that being in the army and serving you know we could be done for valid reasons and could produce good results you know we have only i want.

to. come. back. right now. off of the military installation good good. move it back. a good. book in fact backwards.

that. is that. it is the.

at first we didn't have a well defined mission. we stayed to add one baghdad international airport for four or five days. then we went to an iraqi air force base occupied by the u.s. army. and. we started talking to people they told us they approved of the invasion. and they were happy to be free from the oppression of saddam hussein. the same time they wanted to regain back control of their country. they didn't want an extended occupation. first real confrontation happened at the town hall and. that's where we had our first combat experience and there was

a demonstration in support of that and against george bush when. george. first there was no violence the demonstrators were shouting their slogans nothing more than see. after forty five minutes of protest. they started throwing grenades and it all became very violent. and the my unit was ordered to take defensive positions on the roof of the town hall. we were told to open fire if anyone threw grenades at us. the. one point silence of complete silence all of the demonstrators about two hundred people started moving from one place to the other. one corner we saw

a young man coming towards us he was holding something in his hand. through the telescope. specifically ordered to shoot to kill if anyone threw something. that young man was holding something and he threw it at us. it was a grenade and we all fired at him. he. was the first time in my life the target wasn't made of plastic. it wasn't a picture it was a human being. a living breathing human being. that young man by the way couldn't possibly reach us because he was much too far. and.

the. i shot him too and he was killed by our bullets he started bleeding demonstrators drank through his own blood. for the first time i saw what bullets from a rifle from. two human body. when those bullets pierced through human flesh and you see blood and death. and you realize what really goes on in. mine and you understand what all this training was for. i've never seen first hand a human being killed by bullets and it was really hard for me that it's something i haven't been able to forget and that i will never forget. yes yes yes i remember the first time. tell me

about it you know why. it was shot three. or four in the morning three. there were five of us of them lying in ambush. flat on the ground.

one of us was always keeping watch. because we would always switch every fifteen minutes. all of a sudden i heard the sound of gravel rolling down. of an event i saw three fighters climbing towards us. very quietly very slowly only. i thought if i wake up the others there will be me. to shoot or not to shoot to be or not to be. i had no other choice but to open fire. i only had two seconds to shoot three men. suddenly it's not an exercise anymore it's for real.

and i track to the bullet inside and hit the guy right here. i saw as face explode. with. the thick illicitly shoe i just sadly time to see the second guy he had turned to look at his buddy who's had it been blown away i shot and killed him too. the third one looks toward me to see where the shots were coming from. with the less that he saw me and he raised his collision a cough but it only took me half a second to shoot him down. i got up and went over to see. i just stood there. looking down at the bodies.

for fifteen minutes. maybe longer she's maybe fifty years. all of the ideals i had when i was eighteen or nineteen all of the good things the beautiful things my dreams. they all started falling apart. i was just an empty shell. with a uniform and a gun. of very strong very courageously. but empty. i don't know if he's human being of sane mind gets used to killing. me. i never got used to killing.
