Weeks ago, a Marine was killed in Iraq.

The day before he was deployed, Pacifica’s Peace Watch correspondent Ingrid Drake interviewed him.

The interview was broadcast on Pacifica’s Peace Watch. We will play an excerpt from that interview today. In it, the Marine voiced his opposition to the war and active support for the peace movement.

At the time he asked not to be identified and his voice was electronically altered.

His parents have asked that he continue to remain anonymous.
