This was a moving event and like Tom Hayden I agree that the circumstances of Rodney's case should be judged on their own merit. This is a fine young man who I am honoured to call friend. He is no criminal, certainly no coward and is caught by an illegal action of the United States Government to send him back to Iraq to fight an unjustifiable if not, illegal war.
Rodney is worthy of every peace loving person's active support for freedom from American oppression.
