An Interview with Camilo Mejia "The Problem in Iraq is the US"

Camilo Mejia was the first U.S. soldier who served in Iraq and went public with his refusal to re-deploy. He spent nine months in military confinement for deciding to follow his conscience.

Since his release, he has been a tireless antiwar campaigner--at the side of Cindy Sheehan when she began her antiwar vigil outside George Bush's ranch in Crawford, Texas, and traveling to New York to support the St. Patrick's Four, activists on trial for opposing the war. His book, Road from Ramadi, is forthcoming from New Press.
