struggling to come up with its. policies under. strain of telling to rest. of the. blame for the spread of an extremist threat. up next soldiers who dared to go against the orders of no matter what the price in the second part of our special report. the. group of generals had planned a coup d'etat you know i wasn't in on the cool i was not contaminated by the desire to overthrow the government. or you. want to put you at

about eight thirty am. i received a memo from the division commander. ordering me to take control of the region. and to rest a governor and members of the regional government. there will i gather my officers and told them what i thought about the whole thing. me until i gave them a short verbal order maintain calm an order do not change the system. and respect the life the of all citizens. on september eleventh. i was mayor of the city of. we know my name is a coup and foresee. and i was

a member of the communist party but that day the party had decided. that about ten thirty am. i would go to the military barracks to speak with. find out exactly what's going on. to assess the situation. i think i must be the only communist mayor in the country who went into military barracks on september eleventh spoke with the military commander that expressed reservations about the events of the day. down of their free to carry out my duties as mayor. if i spoke to this man if i agreed to see him it's because he was a chilean citizen a man who had been elected mayor of talca by the population he had that title i could not despise and that's why i treated him like i did. i am

alive today because. when i. was the military commander. otherwise impossible i forget it. i was among the first on the list of people to be eliminated. by the put use. to them for two thousand. number one million singles later three years running to drive the new lease on titan six ninety six the news conference good morning bill a good morning text on an american soldier who went a while rather than fight what he calls and oil driven war in iraq faces a current martial at fort stewart today and his trial is attracting international media attention spanish and canadian television crews joined local news teams to report he faces up to a year in prison for desertion if convicted. i

think it shows. today it is the first day of the trial in the court martial of staff sergeant people. years charged with one specification of violation of article eighty five of the uniform code of military justice you see m.j. desertion. i will introduce mr ramsey clark as you all know by now as a former attorney general united states in the sixty seven of the johnson administration you just have to go be leading the defense on the issue of whether the international law defenses that we want to offer should be admitted in this case is that this is that or the most important issues in this case. i'll come down

to the station. you know. because it should such great importance. to our country tend to peace. in iraq you have soldiers accused of violating international law. the geneva convention. and for that matter domestic law for which you can brutalized people under any circumstances under a new law. here you have a soldier. who served in iraq. you describe leader. his squad was cleared in. two abuses that were violations of international law. you know they were they were

stationed at the international airport. they were handing detainees but what i'm doing is three cian your men who had no dinner and have. only code names and they do the actual interrogation. but they order. these young soldiers around on how you handle the detainees when the actual impaired geisha isn't going on. and they were ordered to deprive them of sleep. forty eight hours. keep them blindfolded. jerk them around make them stand make noise. take your weapon to defuse may shoot the person right in the head at that time. he thought he had a duty to stay out of that. activity. is a violation of international law. that's what you want to soldiers to do.

more if you want to be a democratic society than to find obedience to authority. and you see that an order is illegal and you're being ordered to commit a crime don't do it. yet they make the prosecution fears that a light sentence or make will encourage other immigrant soldiers to desert the defense argues. had the right to obey his own conscience if you other than orders from his commanding officers a ten person jury will hear testimony tomorrow from fort stewart georgia. univision .

one of the soldiers who have been in my one. told his mother. mom i don't feel like my life belongs to me. why did you move me so much to the soldier said that he did because i failed the same way when i was there. because we were told to go on missions that we knew were not for the benefit of anyone other than the officers who were given such orders to go into such missions because we knew that there were officers there were pretty much instigating firefights and creating social distress because they had gone through so many years to have gone through entire military careers without having any time some experience and in order for them to have the experience the background they

need to get their promotions and to make. this one general perhaps i mean this combat experience. is very helpful. they don't really care who you are all they care about is that we go there and we get into firefights so they can get their medals so they can get their promotion so they can get their purple hearts. that it will get up a little. bit like.

yep and then you ask yourself why did all this happen you know why did all these people die. why did i allow myself to be put in a situation where i have to kill in order to survive. were. little children was small in one thousand nine hundred seventy eight there was no palestinian national authority in the cities had their own town councils

knew at the time the palestinians could govern themselves to a certain extent. that issue fifty one day. israel expelled the mayor of his brother. and the mayor of algeria to jordan. we must feel that the next day we were sent to patrol the city of heber. before but there was a huge demonstration to protest the expulsion of the two mayors and that would mean there were a lot of protesters. they were throwing stones at every government installation they saw whether military or civilian. damage and then the government issued the order to open fire on the demonstrators. we look for that if

i said no i can't open fire. i didn't have the capacity to break up a demonstration we had no tear gas is no shield it's no rubber bullet. it's with the us i had nothing at all i said i'm a soldier a fighter. by fire my weapon it's to kill me with someone asked me are you refusing to obey an order shoot she i said yes i refuse because this order goes against my principles. no one can force me to kill if i don't want to do issues i don't want to be a war criminal. he was doing this if so i was reprimanded and demoted.

it to you on the one sunday i was in the government building if you wanted and i received a phone call from the second in command because he said commander general i really annoys here to seal. that will but i told him i would be right there and immediately went to the barrel of the queen in a moment thinking to be when i came in the room i saw a general in combat uniform going on butterwick in our glass of whiskey in one hand . the persona machine gun on the other hand what if you introduced myself and said general there is nothing to report in the area yes me what does that mean nothing to report on it feeling how many political prisoners she know how many detainees are there. but also i insisted nothing to report in general.

but commander don't you know we are at war he asked me. really i couldn't help myself and i said both of them did he want war are you talking about generally when i mean i know it's possible to declare war against neighboring countries it's seen but not against our own countrymen. went in with. very well he said you're dismissed wait in the next room but it may be then midwest most senior officers in my unit and with his staff. and then he informed me that the military in jungle had decided that i should report to army headquarters and relinquish my command to get it wanted to get him and.

it tickles equally at a thimbleful i was court martialed and accused of dereliction of military duty to me that in dereliction of military duty immediately that. to me that i was sentenced to five years in prison because. i went to prison but endured persecution slander threats of execution the scene i mean and spent seventeen years in exile.

we're going to have to start here let me just professor jules folke l l o l is a full professor of international law at university it's for he's also the vice president at the center for us to show right wing always gets forgotten midnight exhausted there is the judge is not going to live i want to just argue this one would testify today that's. the underlying issue this case is really whether the united states government will comply with its international obligations treaty obligations and international. and they are for i would have

testified that thought maybe it is absence from his unit was all right under international under the treaties which we have signed and under the president which we are so selfish as the world. at the nuremberg tribunals which the united states government was the chief prosecutor of decided that a soldier or a command or citizen has obligations under international law then are higher than their duty to obey the best aquash superior orders even. can not be considered in mitigation where crimes as shocking and extensive has been committed consciously ruthlessly and without a military excuse or justification. and that set the basic precedent that a soldier what this obey. an order that is the legal. and it would have been much

better in the prison systems in iraq if more sold. it's had disobeyed it would have been better for our whole international image and our whole foreign policy and it's in the military's interest. even though most military people would say this has to be the key thing but this point at what cost if the cost is committing war crimes and discipline has to give way to the broader principle that military should operate on the wall.

good morning everyone of us receive you're here in the newsroom is attorney says a good squad leader who took care of his men but the government says he left them behind when they needed in the most those are the opening arguments in the court martial of florida national guard soldier. he is accused of deserving is unit well on a two week furlough from iraq last fall convicted he faces a year in prison and a dishonorable discharge. the military court has reached a decision. very serene.

he says he stands by his actions. the latest news from fort stewart georgia. three to seven. army specialist jeremy sivits was the first soldier to be charged and is expected to plead guilty to taking pictures of the abuse as part of his deal with prosecutors he would testify against the other soldiers sivits faces a maximum of one year in prison. might be getting sweeter. what

is terrible is that the men who gave the orders not fully assume the responsibility of the commanding officer. they tire responsibility the entire fault for their subordinates. one cannot delegate the command responsibility. response ability i can delegate authority to my second in command my responsibility under no circumstances. i was willing. and i'm still willing to defend my home. to defend my country. but i am not willing and i will never be willing. to conquer.

another nation. i think about the real price. that was paid for this war. time and not only by american and allied troops. but also by the families of the soldiers who suffered a great deal. and mainly by iraqi embassy attack that in who are oppressed now and who are paying dearly. i think what i am doing now. even if it costs me a few years in prison is a small price to pay and even if i go to prison if we listen i will be free. i will

have been free enough to make the right decision that i will feel that despite the contract i signed to become a soldier i gave myself the freedom to make the right decision. yeah. yeah. yeah.
