Lawyer: US Military Reneges on Resister Surrender Deal

HeadlineNov 01, 2006

In Kentucky, the US military has apparently ignored a pledge to discharge an Iraq war resister in return for his surrender.

But military officials have apparently ordered him back to his original unit where his outcome will be decided.
