In a second press conference Lt Ehren Watada held in Seattle, June 19, 2006, (ret) Army Colonel and Diplomat, Ann Wright, speaks in support of Lt. Watada's decision to refuse orders to deploy to Iraq as his right to disobey illegal orders.
I posted two DK diaries herehere and here about the first press conference for Lt Watada on June 7, 2006 in Tacoma, WA. My two diaries were rescued in the daily DK rescues here. Now I'm reporting on his second press conference held in Seattle, WA. (I also posted this to Washblog part of Pacific Northwest netroots networking.)
NOTE: June 27 will be a national day of action in support of Lt. Watada and his refusal to deploy. Supporters have planned events across the country, including events at Ft Lewis, WA; Charlotte, NC; Cleveland, OH; Harrisburg, PA; San Francisco, CA; and Oklahoma City, OK.
