There's really so much here I don't know where to begin. They roast Haliburton for the fact that they have the latest protective equipment while their men go without proper armor.

I'm posting the part of the article about the erosion of democracy.

JS- I don t think you could have said it any plainer. Anything else you want to say?

O1- No, I think I said way too much if I know what s good for me. That is one thing that I am really upset about. I go off to fight for democracy and freedom in Iraq, and I am scared to have my name on this interview when I get back home to this supposed democracy. That just pisses me off that I am afraid to speak out in my own country. How the hell are we supposed to bring democracy to Iraq when the government is going after all the soldiers that have been speaking out?

O2- You have to have been out of the country for a few months to notice it. I almost felt like I was coming home to a police state or something. They were screening everyone at the airport and pulled aside some elderly guy who was a prominent anti-war activist. I didn t catch his name but a few people at the airport said he was a Christian peace missionary who had been over in Iraq during the bombing campaign.
