Four Iraq War Vets Detained at Pentagon
What: Press Conference with veterans who have been detained, and possibly
arrested, at the Pentagon
When: 9:30 a.m., Sunday, Sept. 10, 2006
Where: Camp Democracy on the National Mall in Washington, D.C., near Fourth
Street.
Four veterans of the current war in Iraq and one supporter (a total of five
young men) were detained at the Pentagon today after they attended an open
house and left behind flyers providing information about the lethal effects of
depleted uranium.
The five (if released) and leaders of Iraq Veterans Against the War, and
Veterans for Peace will hold a press conference at 9:30 a.m. tomorrow, Sunday,
September 10, at Camp Democracy, on the National Mall in Washington, D.C., near
Fourth Street.
The veterans observed literature available in the Pentagon's chapel, which is
at the site of the 9-11 plane crash. This literature, produced at tax-payer
expense, included copies of the New Testament in camouflage covers.
They left behind flyers explaining the effects of depleted uranium. Some of
the vets detained currently suffer from depleted uranium poisoning.
The four vets are Steve Mortillo of Pennington, N.J.; Joe Hatcher of San Diego,
Calif.; Geoff Millard of Buffalo, N.Y.; and Toby Hartbarger of Indiana. Also
detained was Gregory "Tristan" Watson of Chicago, Ill.
Retired Col. Ann Wright said, "Iraq vets who have suffered the effects of
depleted uranium have every right to educate others about the terrible effects
of this illegal substance used in weapons produced by the United States
government."
