While browsing around AlterNet.org, I saw a link to an interview of an ex-Marine who was part of the Iraqi liberation campaign, done by Paul Rockwell, of the McClatchy Company's Sacramento Bee newspaper. After doing some searching, I found out that the Marine, SSgt. Jimmy Massey, had been quoted in several different stories during the course of the second conflict in Iraq. He had an epiphany (which, according to the interview, happened while he was policing Iraqi citizens), which turned him completely against the war.

The interview is quite good and worth a read, especially alongside the recent books by Bob Woodward and Richard Clarke and articles published by people who have little, if any, direct connection to the actual fighting and day-to-day operations in Iraq.

Here's the interview, as provided by AlterNet: A Soldier of Conscience

Quite a few European media outlets jumped on the story of an American soldier reevaluating his life and dedication to the cause. It's interesting, though not surprising, to note that no other major American media outlets made mention of the interview.
