justice for fallujah: former marine speaks out

And finally, my last pass-along of the day, an important act of military resistance and peacemaking. Longtime reader deang shared The Justice For Fallujah Project, co-founded by Ross Caputi, a former US Marine who was involved in the terrible assault on that Iraqi city in 2004.

The Justice for Fallujah Project is raising awareness of the dramatic increases in birth defects - including brain damage, congenital heart defects and childhood cancers - and other serious illnesses in Fallujah since the US used illegal weapons there. I posted about this here, citing articles in the UK media on a "toxic legacy" in Fallujah "worse than Hiroshima".

Thank you, Ross Caputi. You are a true war resister.
