I made some stupid mistakes while covering Thursday’s Winter Soldier testimony from Iraq Veterans Against The War. IVAW’s Geoff Millard, one of those who testified to the Congressional Progressive Caucus, emails me some corrections:
1) Nine of us testified, not five, plus Kelly Dougherty gave an intro and I gave a conclusion.
  • I am IVAW’s D.C. Chapter President, not the co-chair. I was the co-founder.
I apologize wholeheartedly for these mistakes. Not to offer excuses, but circumstances forced me to cover the testimony from an Amtrak train via streaming audio, and I did not hear that there was second panel, which is where the additional four veterans testified. The D.C.-chapter-president fumble was a mental error. Both the veterans and my readers deserve better.
