[Peace-discuss] Hedges: only a candidate who calls for an immediate end to the war...

[C. G. Estabrook]

[The Nader campaign is circulating the following comment by Chris Hedges, whose 
articles have been posted to this list.  --CGE]


Brian Lamb, interviewing former New York Times reporter Chris Hedges, asked 
Hedges who he's going to vote for this year for President. "I'm going to vote 
for Nader," Hedges said. "I can't vote for anybody who doesn't call for an 
immediate end to the war in Iraq."

"The war under post-Nuremberg laws is a criminal war of aggression. It's 
illegal. We have no right as a nation to debate the terms of the occupation. We 
have no right to be there."

Hedges is just out with a new book, with Laila Al-Arian, titled "Collateral 
Damage: America's War Against Iraqi Civilians."

He's the author of two other anti-war classics: "What Every Person Should Know 
About War" and "War is a Force that Gives Us Meaning."
