Maybe it would be a very good thing if some of the Winter Soldiers emerged from the relatively limited visibility of hearings and testimony in committee rooms, and started appearing in uniform at campaign rallies for all the candidates who have voted to keep funding the obscene war in Iraq, beginning with McCain but not forgetting Hillary and Barack.

None of those three sold-out stooges deserves to be President of the United States!

It's only too late to find a decent candidate if everybody believes it's impossible. Democrats and Republicans have disgraced themselves just about equally in the genocidal war in Iraq, and it's time to consign both those collections of bagmen for the corporations to the garbage dump of history.

KWAME HOLMAN: Retired Marine Lieutenant Colonel Gary Solis is an attorney and expert on the law of armed conflict. He teaches at West Point. Before watching the televised "Winter Soldier" meeting at our request, he was skeptical about their claims. Afterward, he changed his mind.

LT. COL. GARY SOLIS: I was immediately impressed with the sincerity, the depth of feeling, the sense of wanting to right wrong.

What they had to say jibes with reports I've received from lieutenants who returned to West Point where I taught. My former students come back and tell me the same thing.
