Pepperspray ProductionsCITIZENS’ HEARING ON THE LEGALITY OF U.S. ACTIONS IN IRAQ: PARTS 1 and 2

The Case of Lt. Ehren Watada JANUARY 20-21, 2007 Tacoma, Washington, USA "In an unprecedented two-day Citizens' Hearing held over January 20-21, more than 600 citizens joined a distinguished tribunal panel in listening to testimony about the legality of the US invasion of Iraq. The Citizens' Hearing was convened to present evidence that Lt. Ehren Watada would have presented in his February 5 court martial on the question that the military ruled barred from entry on Jan. 16 - the question of the Iraq War's legality. Lt. Watada has repeatedly asserted that because the Iraq War is illegal, it is his duty to refuse orders to deploy. He is the Army's first commissioned officer to take such a stand."
