This appeared before on FR, with lengthy discussion. Ken's videos were SUPPOSED to be aired on ABC TV sometime this week. Have not heard anything further.

Excellent story--a must read for all.

`Life is hell. We have no hope. But everything will be ok once the war is over.` The bizarre desire for a war that would rid them of the hopelessness was at best hard to understand.

`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`

Coming back to family members and telling them of progress in the talks at the United Nations on working some sort of compromise with Iraq I was welcomed not with joy but anger. `No, there is no other way! We want the war! It is the only way he will get out of our lives`

Someone want to send this to Sarandon and her ilk? You know, all the people who "care" so much about the Iraqi people?

That last encounter with the Iraqi police at the border would have made me crap myself... Thank God he found human kindness in his heart. I hope to see these tapes.

[Sam Cree]

ABC is kind of "anti war" isn't it? Thanks for the post.

Where are the tapes?

Surely a just God would want them shown to the rest of the world?

A must read...

They have to be very careful in editing and modifying the tapes not to identify anyone who is still at risk in Iraq. Otherwise those tapes could consign dozens of people to death.

I'm not sure I'd want to see those tapes released until the regime falls unless they blur the faces of the Iraqis involved.

I haven't seen your latest posts. How are things in NK? Do you have a ping list? May I please be added?

[TigersEye]

Previous discussion on this article here. Well worth posting again.

not much going on right now. Day 45 and Kim Jong il is still underground and unseen/unheard from. The Northies launched a land to ship missile over the Yellow Sea yesterday around 8 pm. US time last night....south Koreans say they have no info, but Japanese have caught that latest. Thats about it.

Their reply would be....

Have you talked to regular people, away from your `minder` and asked them what they want?

I was shocked at the response. `We don't need to do that. We know what they want.`

[WellsFargo94]

Excellent post.

"I Was Wrong." (Another Protester Comes His Senses)

Is this really "another" one, or has there been only one former protester that we keep hearing about over and over and over again? Anyone keeping track?

[seams2me]

AHHH.... I see your point. Shoulda thought of that.

[seams2me]

You're right, I'm a dope. I'm sure the tapes will be out when it's safe....but dang it, it sure would help make the point, wouldn't it!

[netmilsmom]

Good Job, thanks.
I feel safer knowing you are watching for us.
(you did know I was kidding about the soot sprite, right?)

I saw on another thread that it is to be on a 20/20 show with Barbara Walters. Unconfirmed so far though.
