And finally, in an update on a story on yesterday’s Democracy Now, a US soldier who spent nearly two years in Canada rather than re-deploy to Iraq turned himself in Tuesday at Fort Knox in Kentucky. Specialist Darrell Anderson, a Purple Heart Veteran, just returned from Canada this week. At a news conference shortly before his surrender, Anderson said: “I feel that by resisting I made up for the things I did in Iraq. I feel I made up for the sins I committed in this war.” He’ll be held at Fort Knox where he could face charges.
