8:30 pm
these are the images go girls in seeing from the streets of canada. trying to corporations rule today. is to let dogs of nato and russia reach agreement on a missile defense shield for europe after talks in sochi as the alliance refuses moscow's calls for legal guarantees that its proposed sister would target russian territory. general russel knowledge is a jacket from the real crime school for protesting as the judge in the hague enters a not guilty plea on its behalf to charges of genocide and crimes against humanity you know while some subsidies the tribunals one sided justice and it's cost. and under fire obama's plans to pull troops from afghanistan come under at the time i suppose from a part is to say it's too much of a military risk as time and time scanty. as the headlines are next week
8:31 pm
a former war correspondent who's taken a walk of almost a thousand kilometers just talk people out. of a prairie up there you can get one. that's the same way if you're going to support the troops you've got to support the war or if they don't support it the if you give al shabaab you don't believe it does give you the quiet if you can't. support it like it because it. was a message from the president of the united states your w. bush good morning to the jurors are trying to divide americans break our will and we must not allow them to succeed we will defeat the jurors everywhere they may go and we will leave a more hopeful world for our children and our grandchildren are going wrong it is clear unchanging our goal is good. veterans for peace is chapter one
8:32 pm
eighteen salt lake city is peace and justice organization we basically. work with all soldiers and all veterans to bring about peace some of us all even actually march with him all the way today. and the one guy who will use it or protested he was is an army ranger it started out pretty tense and actually if you guys got the results of the end of what this is a u.s. ranger man telling this in the same way to say look here i'm not. going to. play here and go the country live. but he kept walking that's true is credit so clear not for reading and writing but your morning systematic struggling yeah i think there's a middle ground. and i think we agree on everything i said to get everything up
8:33 pm
until the point of what will bring stability. and i believe that stability with yourself for the drop off a small difference of opinion that's marshall himself yeah i have i have a lot in common with him i support a lot of his views but the people i had nothing to do encounter in the protest bush like kids died get me out yada michael moore you know fahrenheit nine eleven it's things like that they're completely to the lectern jake but marshall i find him very you know very charming intelligent clean cut individual. i have no animosity for him you know and eventually yes i think if this were a perfect world we would be occupying iraq oh there was another counter protester bringing up the total counter protesters to three and he was a young kid he had to hear the camouflage talk on but i don't think using the military those people demonstrating that should their disgrace threats to our country once again serve for that stand the need to get out of here and go live with the tears for all i care. because i said. what what are they doing to people
8:34 pm
to troops that are just going home where they don't know that they're saying you know what you guys what you're doing more is better when all we're doing out there is trying to go out there make a difference trying to help trying to trying to make sure we can live here trying to make so people don't come here and kill innocent people while building so we're trying to do feel like they're still like their spin on the same you know what. i tell it. just to say. i'm no i've never actually thought about the subject before so i can't say really have an opinion. or be neutral stance on what we do as american people we just go back our business right nothing's happened i'm not naive down now i don't have an opinion because i don't listen to the news so i don't know anything about iraqi except that we're over there yeah but you know how you don't care like it one way or the other and now apple is the most. you can start
8:35 pm
a discussion or debate with someone who's not that it was you know sort of to be very draining because you do this big protest you're sacrificing all this time it is in. other things we're instead people might think that really. think a lot of people have a connection like how fast people dying. in a market correction call. in the car it back in on the radio an attack outside of baghdad another choppers can't fight who didn't have been in the center of the capital. the evening news comes on the t.v. . two marines if you plan to die each day attack because both good poll and not being. two marines are killed two families left to
8:36 pm
greet. him in a meeting or die overseas. in a war that has started with the brain and the brain just the coming campaign. wave began to move the raid. where use the angry old way is to break. this big boat into the second week of walking. through. the food from above and beyond ok with a three. zero dollar bill with people with. their firm but from the police their heart was even a korean war the only slower cookies for my moment my sister a particular case will go wrong in a local it's all the rubble for you little girl you're a good old soul we go
8:37 pm
a bad business beat like a. giving little ball through a wall and so far away from the clergy you side comes to comes to stand for kids become soldiers cause. men and women are dying over seas. you know lol that was starting. to gain the bright and the brave didn't come in that means. weighs da mayor in the ring. mayor giuliani in the rain. may be a way to raise. the walk might be over right now. i don't know. yesterday just to the
8:38 pm
moment i'm live this morning so do the ultrasound today. or so open and pray that would eliminate cancel the sisters. swear word. but it wasn't so if you probably heard three. very start to this and she's with them coming. from. those i should be there those are the four year. old beautiful. stories important this one is so.
8:39 pm
i knew he wanted to quit because he wanted to be a good dad and he wanted to be there past somewhere that this walk is why he was a good guy and she said well. keep walking and we get a second keep walking or by the board it's kind of got up the next day and walk. thinking that maybe that would be luster the good of the war i was really happy that he could get out and he could confide in me even though he was scared. and devastated with the news. i was charged trophyless calls for a possible total sense of one hundred fifteen years or so with good behavior i'd be
8:40 pm
getting out of truth out of the. when i realized that the war was wrong and all the good people in which i realized what i would feel each section of the pentagon papers i then felt that what i could do was expose twenty three years of lawyers from birth of trenton's and that it might help to slow the film for war but started it with seventy thousand top she could page which they would have to the full extent of the law against me and that there would be basically a life sentence. that's what nixon headed to put on i just thought it might help and i was ready to go to prison i've had my fill i told him again blacklisted for the rest of your life it will be on your record right. and. at that point he said well in that case then it will be that i'll be sitting in prison and i want out that i did not order my hands are illegal right is just i just want to give people
8:41 pm
i know serious flaws and i think the law they have to evaluate what you're being told asked to. as the guardian will be goes around and even better than us and we didn't think they were loaded with it would be a loaded gun here on campus this is because a college went right when they have loaded guns the guardsmen on the end of the line decided to not fire in the direction everybody else was but to turn ninety degrees and pick me off while i was running for cover and the bullet hit me in the the abdomen just below my belt and it knocked me through the ear and through the groan like someone swinging a sledge hammer like a baseball bat and he like a cartoon image where i flew in the air and landed on the ground i was shot a second time by a guardsman who testified in court that he knew had already been shot once and when they asked him so why did you shoot him he said well everyone else was shooting him
8:42 pm
. did you really think you could happen again yes or yeah i think i think it's just waiting to happen because it's been a long time yet so they can pull this stunt again and i believe it was a stunt i believe this was planned to stop protesting and the more that protest in this current now the more i look for it to happen and it just scares ron koblick. he may hear oh and his example really got me into all of this. remember that he said once that there was a palpable turning point when public opinion really shifted against the war and it marked the beginning of the end of the vietnam war and he said that was kent state we walked into we came in there from the park and i could have just a little bit more thought at the border and few miles but i really wanted to walk through zion national park the native americans who live there considered gold
8:43 pm
plated. and even the more of them made news when they came for the first explorers said surely this is god's first home this for the sake. you're in a new star i spent nearly every summer morning news in cyber or so i couldn't walk you through for he was. just a bit of a. he got everything certainly a lot of people showed whether god is still the bill if it was a had cancer or not but there was some reasonable doubt. or some reasonable hope which of her parents or her claims of the. tooth really sort of that will begin you could because if this was worth some people just like the idea of no more bombs no more screaming no more care no more deaths from like wrongs in the nuclear warfare
8:44 pm
nuclear north for nuclear warfare my dad always gets around that new clear. she seems could cook well she was russian better than more awkward for me. during the last week of getting e-mails from people that said you know i wish i could be here for i really care is there any is there anything i can do and sound my sister in law got the idea that we have blues there representing everybody that wanted to be there and question is from all over the world from europe from the middle east from australia from china we got hundreds and hundreds of names and so much support from our setting out of the shoes of our previous years that are real reality for me there are certainly a lot of emotion to go through when you start reading the names of looking at names shouldn't the absolute wonder in the story. were not fond of thank you so much for
8:45 pm
coming out proper and hearts our great heart for our paper better than such a calculus aki go break up the fate of black family had nothing. we shall never ever ever ever see this kind of. again everyone ever heard of them and close or not they will never have a grand kind of a concourse they will never enjoy all of the great things that make her provided. for us to be here i remember the first thing i said you know in our house we had to feed her we remember not one mama to be we had to fear and thank you for the privilege of locking which you would marshal for reminding us of our duty.
8:46 pm
as a near the border i was excited i mean this is the slate in the film walk and did it . spite all the challenges. nobody believed the support he's this much of that has sold all those people back in washington d.c. with all the hearts and warmongers know the utah supports peace. that go to school . because he got caught up in the sixty's. it was like a wonderful victory made it five hundred miles and it's a soul you into my family and all the wonderful people who held me to dogs walk almost every inch of it with me. i've never been prouder to be time than right now so wonderful thing. because he was very much tempered by the sobering thought that the war was still going.
8:47 pm
anyone wearing a baseball cap or covering up to take it off and place it over your left shoulder if you want to is not mandatory and anyone who wants to salute you can slow to keep the cap until taps is completely played and then you can put it back on any questions. thank you. joe don't feel that since these walking in california didn't bite you couldn't for both of them. a group of showed on the field with a new thought for us we're going to go california. today is their chance today and i would just like to thank. all of those who have served and all that are serving some of those the honor are represented by don'ts my group conference there. that's how my son came home this is
8:48 pm
a picture of him as he turned twenty one. it was his last birthday. today and i asked you all to help me carry my grief. because it's very hard to carry myself. and if we were to grieve as a nation. i think that this might help unseal internation someone is nature's day. we honor on them. martin luther king said it comes when silence is betrayal the time comes like the time we're in right now at this moment. when anything other then raise your voice opposition to this. is a betrayal of this country that the good done takes me to one side and says hey i
8:49 pm
was in the wrong over. and. i think the idea and also there's room kuharich right in front of me you just have this or somebody who spent his life doing good things and i think there is no greater right here than to be part of the peace process right now in fall and bringing an end to this war a suitor's. healing this nation and committing ourselves to never allow what happened in the iraq war in vietnam to never happen again i told him that i'd seen before the fourth of july in iraq and it really made him happy to write you one of the corner if you're going to iraq yeah and i seriously doubt put it like the whole interview can come full circle. that you're sitting in iraq. and watch it for the fourth of july about rome prove it. and see how he dealt with
8:50 pm
the ghosts of war but protesting that it just hit with such force and that's exactly why i didn't think you. would so is following his example. because it's only. so reasonable that i had written to him as a vietnam veteran who's been in this real care for almost forty years and it's an honor to call you my dear and my friend and someone who is so. good like the only thing wrong in. thinking that. i'm driving right now a good friend and all my but i'd. like to get out of the army the army offered me twenty thousand dollars to be a muslim bonus in iraq so there's been one lump sum tax free twenty thousand dollars after iraq and knew how my loyalties can be abused and so while i still
8:51 pm
feel that my service is honorable and still full other people's service is honorable i could not realist no matter how much money they offered me just. shifts in numbers that we've seen recently says they're tied the utahns like the rest of the country are starting to grow tired of course starting to question the war and starting to question bush's leadership of the war and it happened especially almost coinciding with the marshals walk and i don't i don't know how many utahns are held himself swayed to the other side it certainly wasn't just the walk but there were tons of other people doing things those military families speak out in very active and so it was rocky anderson and the norwalk is part of that so it feels really good. getting the stomach. to see my. children. and. i have to call attention to that
8:52 pm
dark angel and i mentioned you have to be prepared to accept the wrath of the governments force and as long as you're willing to do that if you do it nonviolent me you do everything you possibly can you give them your body you know and and you do it nonviolently you do it lovingly hell i even try to do it with a sense of humor you know it's no big deal searching. nothing's going to change until a guy's foot coming home except about how about as soon as guys come home and say you know don't count me on the back because things got change we got it got fix this from things will change in a different scrutiny now i put it pretty or it was trying to change things or not i just had to do it i got to do it. not just me oh i think it's maybe it's like spitting in the ocean to know if it's good you do it you care and
8:53 pm
you have to make your own statements from your own heart. and i still michael and i'm down has made that person she breezily cheese illness this story this time. push to bring in our brothers sisters home for peace march for peace we stand for peace and in the. morning from on. it is a time of hope a time to believe that he's can come that we can end this war that we can change the priorities of our country that we can move in a new and dynamic direction that we can make this an america that we can all be proud of that the sacrifice of our young men and. women in iraq a must not be i'm trying hard to. deal with regret. is that i didn't do it correctly at least.
8:54 pm
the sooner the twentieth day of the walk. but to finish up i hope it's a good idea i don't know it's an extract from a gun called a peaceful stand here for peace two it's like it really renewed my faith since people in humanity and it's really reinforced my patriotism activists have a lot of different reasons for getting involved but in the end it all comes down to this it comes down to the hope that what you're doing to commit the world a better place and we can maybe even save a life. because. if what we're doing can save one person's life and that justifies all the embarrassment well the sacrifice all the pains of doing public protest. children. wrong it's all worth it. in that's the whole point it's the sincere hope and conviction that
8:55 pm
nobody else has to. are you going to do a day. like this so i can step back from iraq about three months ago. when i was going through my case the state of my utah. life when it means a lot to come to the nation's capital and see that side like that's really really does look like her you don't think the same thing the same. until it's clear.
