Josh Stieber was in the same Bravo company as the men whose voices
were captured on the Wikileaks video. Josh was there in Baghdad at
the same time, in the same company. His message is a powerful one. A
few days before the Wikileaks video was taken, Josh tells me, he
refused to fire randomly on civilians. Otherwise, he may have been
on that mission that, listening to it, causes us revulsion. His
assessment of the situation is not an easy one to face or accept.
He's also written a blog that he permitted us to reprint. I strongly
suggest you read the blog </SPAN></STRONG><STRONG><A

very powerful, especially when you consider they come from a 22 year
old veteran-- a former warrior who sought and achieved conscientious
objector status. <BR></SPAN><BR style="FONT-WEIGHT: normal"><SPAN

It's worth a listen. Thanks to OEN managing editor Cheryl Biren for
producing and researching the show. There's a reason the senior
editorial team calls her Cherlock. </SPAN><BR></STRONG><BR>Do you
