Jimmy Massey, produced by Between the Lines' Melinda Tuhus <!--break--> U.S. Veteran Returning from Iraq Speaks Out Against the War and Killing of Civilians Excerpts of speech by Marine Staff Sgt. Jimmy Massey, produced by Melinda Tuhus A few months ago, eight U.S. veterans of the Iraq war -- including two women -- founded Iraq Veterans Against the War. The group is calling for an immediate U.S. withdrawal from Iraq and full funding for veterans benefits at home. The organization -- with support from Vietnam Veterans Against the War and Veterans for Peace -- is open to any active duty reservist or recent veteran of U.S. operations in Iraq. Members of IVAW participated in an Oct. 2 vigil at the White House, along with family members of soldiers serving in Iraq, where they demanded a withdrawal of U.S. troops. The group has recently launched a nationwide speaking tour. IVAW member Jimmy Massey, a Marine staff sergeant with 12 years of service, spoke in late September at an event in New Haven, Conn. After participating in the invasion of Iraq in March 2003, he began speaking out against the killing of civilians. He came to see himself as a war criminal and suffered severe depression. Massey was honorably discharged in December 2003. The following are excerpts from Massey's talk recorded and produced by Between The Lines' Melinda Tuhus. The "Kia incident" he mentions is a reference to one of many actions in which U.S. soldiers and Marines killed Iraqi civilians.

Jimmy Massey, produced by Between the Lines' Melinda Tuhus <!--break--> U.S. Veteran Returning from Iraq Speaks Out Against the War and Killing of Civilians Excerpts of speech by Marine Staff Sgt. Jimmy Massey, produced by Melinda Tuhus A few months ago, eight U.S. veterans of the Iraq war -- including two women -- founded Iraq Veterans Against the War. The group is calling for an immediate U.S. withdrawal from Iraq and full funding for veterans benefits at home. The organization -- with support from Vietnam Veterans Against the War and Veterans for Peace -- is open to any active duty reservist or recent veteran of U.S. operations in Iraq. Members of IVAW participated in an Oct. 2 vigil at the White House, along with family members of soldiers serving in Iraq, where they demanded a withdrawal of U.S. troops. The group has recently launched a nationwide speaking tour. IVAW member Jimmy Massey, a Marine staff sergeant with 12 years of service, spoke in late September at an event in New Haven, Conn. After participating in the invasion of Iraq in March 2003, he began speaking out against the killing of civilians. He came to see himself as a war criminal and suffered severe depression. Massey was honorably discharged in December 2003. The following are excerpts from Massey's talk recorded and produced by Between The Lines' Melinda Tuhus. The "Kia incident" he mentions is a reference to one of many actions in which U.S. soldiers and Marines killed Iraqi civilians.

Account Creation Policy Change

Rochester Indymedia is now requiring editor approval for account creation.

We came to this decision after we had repeated spam posted to our website that caused difficulty with the website's functioning.  We will still have open publishing and keep our site as nonrestrictive and accessible as possible.

If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact us.  As before, we will continue to be Rochester's grassroots news and education site.  Thank you for your continued support and remember, "Don't hate the media, be the media!"

Editorial Meeting Times / Locations

The Rochester Independent Media Center (R-IMC) is no longer meeting regularly.
We will set up meetings by necessity and appointment. Please contact us at rochesterindymedia@rocus.org.
Our home is still the Flying Squirrel Community Space at 285 Clarissa St. Occasionally, we hold meetings at RCTV located at 21 Gorham Street.
