RE: Jesse Macbeth video.


UPDATE:

... Iraq Veterans Against the War recently learned of a video interview with Jesse MacBeth that directs viewers to IVAW’s website and phone number. IVAW was not made aware of the creation of this video program and our input on it was never sought by its producers. Jesse MacBeth is not a spokesperson for IVAW and any claims made by MacBeth about his service have not been verified. We are currently investigating these claims and will have a full statement pending its resolution.

I recently sent out an announcement which brought attention to a filmed interview with Jesse MacBeth. Upon further investigation, I found more questions than answers about the personal history of Mr. MacBeth. I therefore removed this posting from my website."

And lastly Wikipedia lines up the current state of affairs, enough for me to axe the post until.

Meanwhile, Ex-Marine Staff Sergeant Jimmy Massey, true?
...You did what your country asked you to do. Unfortunately, the rules of engagement and the Geneva Convention weren't used. But it's up to you to look within your heart and do the right thing. You know who you are. Don't be scared. Come out. The American public, they need to know. You're not the only one. There are other people out there that can help you to heal. There are other people out there that can help you to get on with your life. Don't feel ashamed. Don't feel embarrassed. Did you a great job, however, you know, the Command -- they didn't give you the right tools for you to carry on with your mission. Just do the right thing, marines."

Did Former Marine Jimmy Massey Lie About U.S. Military Atrocities in Iraq?
