Refuse to Return to Iraq

JULY 9, 2007 MONDAY AT 3PM CT

 


  Camilo Mejia, the son of Sandinista revolutionaries, is a Nicaraguan-American who served 9 years in the American army, but refused to go back to Iraq on moral grounds. He was court marshaled while awaiting conscientious objector status and sent to jail as a deserter. This hour on Here on Earth: Radio Without Borders, Jean Feraca talks to the first Iraq veteran who refuses to return to Iraq.

Guest
  • Camilo Mejia, author of "Road from Ar Ramadi: The Private Rebellion of Staff Sergeant Mejia"
