Ken Nichols O'Keefe
Human Shield Deported From Iraq
Story aired: Friday, March 14, 2003



People willing to put themselves in harms way continue to travel to Iraq. Some are directly assisting the Iraqi people, and some are acting as human shields, willing to stand between allied bombs and Iraqis, despite friction with the Iraqi government over just where they might stand.

Ken Nichols O'Keefe founded the group Truth Justice and Peace-Human Shield Action in Iraq. He and four other human shields were escorted out of Iraq last week after a major dust-up with Iraqi officials, and he joins us from his hotel in Amman, Jordan.
