Head's UP! *4pm - Mission Rejected: U.S. Soldiers Who Say No to Iraq* |

Mission Rejected: U.S. Soldiers Who Say No to Iraq Peter Laufer
At Village Books in Bellingham, Washington, Peter Laufer recounts the stories of soldiers who are opposed to the war in Iraq. During the discussion, he reads excerpts from his book, "Mission Rejected: U.S. Soldiers Who Say No to Iraq." He argues that there are many troops who are against the Iraq War and are serving out of fear. Many others, he says, have chosen to become war resisters and refuse to fight in Iraq.
Peter Laufer is an author, journalist and broadcaster. Mr. Laufer has won several awards, including the Polk Award and the Edward R. Morrow award, for his journalism. He is the author of "The Question of Consent: Innocence and Complicity in the Glen Ridge Rape Case," "Iron Curtain Rising," and "Inside Talk Radio: America's Voice Or Just Hot Air?" Peter Laufer received his BA in English from the University of California, Berkeley and his M.A in Journalism & Public Affairs at the American University in Washington, DC.

The interesting thing is that the left & right seem to get along very well. Something you don't see too often.
