| 55 | Anonymous | Think of all of the horrors we could put an end to if more people had this kind of intelligence, courage, and moral standing. You are truly a hero Lieutenant Watada. |

| 57 | Fred Yoshida | I support Lt. Watada's decision not to fight in an illegal war based on false information distributed by our own government. In an act of aggression to gain access to Iraqs oil reserves. |
| 58 | Bambi Litchman | I have heard Lt. Watada speak, shook his hand, and spoke with his father. They are extremely honorable people with great courage. Please hold the appropriate hearings on the constitutional issues, laws and questions raised in Lt. Watada's case. |
| 59 | Robert F W Whitlock | Dear Bob,
I am so impressed by the support you are providing for your son during this difficult time.
Ehren is doing the right thing. His principled stand against this illegal war provides a great hope to many people.
Thank you and Ehren for your hard work. |

| 61 | Karin Lease | The US government is acting in a criminal manner by asking service personnel to attack the people of Iraq for no legitimate reason. The administrators of our government should be prosecuted instead of Lt Watada or anyone else who refuses to support the illegal actions of our government. |

| 63 | Thomas Jelf | The invasion of Iraq is illegal and LT. Ehren Watada
must not be court-martialed. According to the constitution he has every right to do what he did. The people who ordered the invasion of Iraq are the guility ones and they are the ones who should be prosecuted. Free Lt. Watada now. |

| 72 | Tadia Rice | Lt. Watada has the right of conscience, and war is not the civil way to any lasting peace. |

| 74 | Tien Ta | It takes great courage, strength, conviction and moral character to do what Lt. Watada is doing. I pray that his actions and sacrifice are not in vein, even for the Americans who don't empathize with his stance - he's doing it for them as much as those who do. |

| 76 | Ahimbisibwe Fred Bazimbwa | It is terrible that the cost and consequences of this war in Iraq can not be genuinely justified either in America or Iraq. However, it is uniquely being understood and condemned by a few people who are not only 100% right about it but who are brave enough to say so. The wolrd is in short supply of such courageous and uncompromising ones. I support Ehren and all Americans who are standing up tp speak against this war and Ehren's trial. |
| 77 | Monica Marsicek | Thank god there are still people who listen to their hearts! |
| 78 | Helena Mizrahi | U.S. Army 1st Lt. Ehren Watada should not be charged with criminal offenses under military law for refusing to obey an illegal orders to go fight in Iraq. The Iraq invasion and killing fields under the pretext of a "War on Terror" is a dereliction of the oath of office by the unelected President, George Bush, and everyone involved in appropriating funds for continuing this illegal so-called war. Instead of prosecuting Lt. Watada, taxpayer money should be invested in stopping BushCo." et. al. from carrying on this charade of a "War on Terror", which we all understand has nothing to do with terrorism, except state terrorism by the United States on sovereign countries, such as Palestine, Iraq, and many others. During the Nuremburg trial, following an illegal order was not a defense against charges of crimes against humanity. So, why is Lt. Watada being "processed" as a criminal for refusing to follow illegal orders to "deploy to the killing fields in Iraq"? He could have quietly been sent to anywhere else. The Army blundered by trying to waste Lt. Watada in Iraq. When your generals and the majority of Americans have stated the Iraq invasion was not justified under the law, why do our institutions continue to "throw the book" at any Iraq military war resister? The "book" should be thrown at those who are complicit in continuing this RICO (racket) in Iraq. Lt. Watada should be able to serve out his term in the U.S. Army and be discharged when he wants with an Honorable discharge. He is one of the only ones protecting our U.S. Constitution; anything less would make fighting for the sovereignty of America meaningless.
Let him go, please.
Thank you. |

| 83 | Nick Egnatz | Lt. Watada is to be admired for his brave stand of conscience against the vast resources of the U.S. government and against the criminal actions of the Bush Administration.
The House Judiciary Committee's Democratic Staff Report states that there is a prima facie case that the Bush Administration is guilty of breaking 7 different federal and international laws in prosecuting their war of aggression in Iraq. |

| 85 | BEN AND PAM WALD | We appreciate and support what you are doing,Ehren, along with your parents. We send our support - you and your family are true profiles in courage. We walk with you!!! |
| 86 | Rebecca Martin | This man should be honored for expressing and representing so many Americans and their true beliefs on this war in Iraq. our government needs to step up and not allow the unlawful persecution of Lt. Ehren Watada. Are the branches of America's armed forces above the law? Is our own government above the law? Americans will not continue to stand for our country being so badly represented to the rest of the world by our supposedly elected government officials. |
| 87 | Richard Gardner Lusk | I am proud of you. |
| 88 | Robert S Gilbert | I am honored and humbled to give my full and unwaveing support to this brave young man.
Lt Watada is a true American hero and I support any action that allows for his honorable resignation from participating in this illegal war |
| 89 | guy vigier | Lieutenant Watada is the bravest of them all.Thank-you. |
| 90 | Bryan Sanders | The people have spoken. If the leaders don't start following the people's lead, all will be lost. |
| 91 | ADELA TAN | THERE NEEDS TO BE RESPONSIBILITIES FROM OUR LEADERS TO ANSWER THESE PRESSING QUESTIONS ON IRAQ. LIVES ARE PRECIOUS SO PLEASE DO NOT WASTE THEM. |

| 94 | Maria Chen | Lt. Watada is a man of courage and conscience, a true leader. Our "leaders" in Washington could learn a lot from him about character, integrity, and honesty. If he is successfully prosecuted by the government, the American people will ironically watch Americans dying to bring freedom of speech in Iraq while Americans are being deprived of that same right to speak out against injustice. |

| 97 | Maureen Kill | 75% of troops in Iraq support a withdrawal and 80% of the Iraqis do as well. This was an ill-founded, sneaky war. As I write, the oil fields in Iraq are going through the Iraqi channels to be privatized to American companies. This is the real reason for this war built on lies. Silence gives permission. We want accountability and we want Lt. Watada to be given an honorable discharge for serving the constitution and courageously standing up and leading. I hope our representatives, who have been complicit by their silence, will satnd up and be counted on to do the right thing. |
