A group of American anti-war demonstrators who came to Iraq with Japanese human shield volunteers made it across the border today with 14 hours of uncensored video, all shot without Iraqi government minders present. Kenneth Joseph, a young American pastor with the Assyrian Church of the East, told UPI the trip "had shocked me back to reality." Some of the Iraqis he interviewed on camera "told me they would commit suicide if American bombing didn't start. They were willing to see their homes demolished to gain their freedom from Saddam's bloody tyranny. They convinced me that Saddam was a monster the likes of which the world had not seen since Stalin and Hitler. He and his sons are sick sadists. Their tales of slow torture and killing made me ill, such as people put in a huge shredder for plastic products, feet first so they could hear their screams as bodies got chewed up from foot to head."

US forces given no flag order, to keep them from appearing as invaders.  Specialist John Garcia said "When they're [other countries who aren't supporting the US] in trouble, they don't call Russia, China, France, Turkey; they call 911, the United States;" it seems it could potentially dampen US troops' morale.  When asked "What's the reason we're fighting?" he answered, "I think Saddam Hussein got them weapons."
