 94.1 fm\n\nNews flash! British MP George Galloway has just been added to 
 the bill, to talk about Gaza--\n\nPlus--\n\n"We are embarking on an 
 occupation that…will be as damaging to our souls as…to our prestige, 
 power and security.” \n-Chris Hedges just prior to the US invasion of 
 Iraq\n\nIn their book Collateral Damage: America’s War Against Iraqi 
 Civilians, journalists CHRIS HEDGES and LAILA AL-ARIAN bring us the voices 
 of fifty U.S. combat vets with the moral courage to speak out:  
 “Civilians are routinely run over or shot to death. Soldiers fire upon 
 Iraqi vehicles with impunity. Late-night detentions…terrify women, 
 traumatize children, and radicalize the young men caught in their 
 dragnet.”\n\nCivilians ask: "Can you imagine being innocent and no one 
 understands what you're saying? Not able to stop the car at a check point 
 because the brakes don't work? Having your friends killed because they 
 couldn't avoid a convoy?"\n\nTickets $15; $10 students/low income:
